From Calgary, Canada
At the end of two runs in Calgary, Noelle Pikus-Pace appeared to be the winner. She had the fastest time in heat to, edging out Lizzy Yarnold to take gold. Or so it seemed. Pikus-Pace failed post-race tech after a nickel-sized piece of tape was found on her handle. That gave gold to the British slider Yarnold, who in her short time on the World Cup tour has shown that she’s going to be a force for years to come. Elena Nikitina had two mammoth pushes to take second, while Aussie Michelle Steele took bronze with two very consistent runs. Shelley Rudman took fourth after a huge second run to move up from sixth after the first heat, and German Anja Huber took fifth.
Sarah Reid led the way for Canada in sixth, while World Cup rookie Robynne Thompson finished in eighth and Cassie Hawrysh put her sled in the top ten in tenth. Katie Uhlaender finished 12th for the US, while Donna Creighton took 18th for Great Britain.
