    Rudy Galindo of San Jose, Calif., the United States champion,

    gave an elegant, balletic performance to land in fourth place.

    He may have finished higher, but his leg swung wide after a triple

    axel, and he recovered only for a double-toe jump in combination

    instead of the planned triple-toe.

    Glaindo, however, can still win the world championship if he wins

    Thursday's long program and Kulik finishes third or lower.
