CALGARY -- First they smashed the start record, then they broke it again.
Josh Lambo Jersey . Kaillie Humphries and
Heather Moyse also set a new Canadian track record while they were at it,
emphatically showing to the rest of the womens bobsled field that the Olympic
champions are back and better than ever. The Canadian duo won gold in their
first World Cup race together in over two years Saturday, blazing down the
Canada Olympic Park track in 55.89 seconds to seal the victory and trim nearly a
quarter-second off the previous record in the process. "It just felt comfortable
right from Day 1 as soon as Heather came back in the summer," Humphries said.
"Being with her again, everything kind of came back and it just fit." Humphries,
from Calgary, and Moyse, from Summerside, P.E.I., posted a two-run time of one
minute 52.77 seconds to finish over a half-second ahead of Americans Elana
Meyers and Aja Evans, who took silver in 1:53.33. Another American duo, Jamie
Greubel and Katie Eberling, took the bronze in 1:53.62. Earlier, American Steven
Holcomb completed a sweep of the mens races with a victory in the four-man event
while Canadian Chris Spring just missed the podium with a fourth-place finish.
Humphries won a world title last year with Chelsea Valois and has reached the
podium at 14 straight events. Moyse, who competed in track cycling and rugby
while taking a break from bobsled, has returned in top condition after
undergoing hip surgery a year ago. The Canadians didnt wait long to display the
form that led them to gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games. Moyse, who won a push
competition here last weekend, helped power the Canada 1 sled to a start record
of 5.48 seconds. Another three-100ths of a second was trimmed off the mark in
the second run. It was the kind of performance Moyse had in mind over the last
year as she underwent a gruelling training schedule and rehabilitation to get
back to her previous level after surgery. "Just determination and the sheer
red-headed willpower and stubbornness of wanting to prove to myself that I can
do it," Moyse said of her motivation. The Canadians first started sliding
together in 2009. Off and on, they have spent about 2 1/2 years together as a
duo. They beat the previous Canadian track record of 56.06, which was set by
Lesa Mayes-Stringer and Jamie Cruickshank in 2005. Shauna Rohbock and Valerie
Fleming of the United States set the all-time womens track mark of 55.44 that
same year. Its early in the season, but Humphries and Moyse are already the
clear favourites to return to the top of the podium in Sochi this February. "I
think we take the pressure off of each other ... were doing this because we want
to do it, not because we have to do it," Moyse said. "And I think that when we
keep reminding ourselves that were here because we want to be here, then it
helps to melt away all the outside stresses. "I think thats how we did it in
Vancouver and hopefully we can just keep doing that this year." Edmontons
Jennifer Ciochetti and Valois, from Zenon Park, Sask., were ninth. Holcomb, the
reigning Olympic gold medallist, guided his team of Curt Tomasevicz, Steven
Langton and Chris Fogt to a two-run time of 1:48.56. Germanys Maximilian Arndt
and Russias Alexander Zubkov finished tied for second place in 1:48.65. Spring,
from Calgary, was fourth in 1:48.67. "Were a little off the podium, its not what
we wanted but there are lots of positives to come out of this," he said. "Well
leave here pretty happy and moving on to the next stop, weve got some good
momentum coming our way." Spring was eighth after the first run but had the
fastest time in the second run on a cool, overcast afternoon. Holcomb and
Langton won gold in the two-man race on Friday at the season-opening event. "For
us to have this first World Cup under our belts with a new team and new
equipment, its kind of like having a monkey off our back," Langton said. "It
gives us that confidence moving forward." Spring and Jesse Lumsden of
Burlington, Ont., won bronze in the two-man race. They were joined by Cody
Sorensen of Ottawa and Saskatoons Ben Coakwell for the four-man competition. The
other Canadian mens sleds also cracked the top 10 on Saturday. Lyndon Rush of
Humboldt, Sask., was sixth in 1:48.88 and Justin Kripps of Summerland, B.C., was
ninth in 1:49.02. Rush was joined by David Bissett and Neville Wright, both of
Edmonton, and Calgarys Lascelles Brown. Kripps piloted James MacNaughton of
Newmarket, Ont., Torontos Tim Randall and Graeme Rinholm of Medicine Hat, Alta.
The World Cup season continues next weekend with an event in Park City, Utah.
