Summary:[Willie Gault] didn't know bobsled, but he did know that [Willie Davenport] and his teammates weren't going downhill fast. Or fast enough. Gault figured he could do better. A favorite to win a sprint relay gold medal in the 1980 Summer Olympics, he promised himself that he also would win a gold medal at a future Winter Olympics. Gault and [Herschel Walker] will start late this winter-the later the better from the perspective of their NFL employers-but [Edwin Moses] is back at Calgary's Olympic Park this week for the season's first World Cup event. Moses said he expects to be named to one of two U.S. sleds for both the two-man competition Wednesday and the four-man competition Saturday.
