From Whistler, Canada
As expected, Canadians are all over the top three after Heat 1. The CAN I sled of Humphries/Baadsvik sit first, while Upperton/Brown in CAN III ride in third. The meat in that sandwich his the Kiriasis-piloted GER II sled. Those three are all within a tenth of a second of each other.
The Russia II sled sits fourth, while Germany I is fifth. American sleds sit 9th (Schaaf), 12th (Gruebel) and 14th (Hill).
