Gagnon claims third straight Canadian combined title
Marie-Michèle Gagnon collected her
third Canadian super-combined title Sunday (March 27) at the GMC
Canadian Championships at Nakiska, Alberta.
The Quebec skier was dominant,
finishing almost 1.5 seconds ahead of her nearest rival with a
combined time of one minute, 40.52 seconds. It’s the third straight
combined Canadian title. She was fastest in both the super-G
(1:05.18) and the slalom (35.34) on Sunday.
“I’m happy. It’s my thing,”
said Gagnon of the super-combined event. “It’s my third title. I
can’t let it go to anyone!
“It’s fun to have all the girls
from the team here. But as much as you are having fun, you are still
competitive.”
Prospect Group skier Madison Irwin, of
the Craigleith Ski Club in Ontario, was the top junior and finished
second overall with a combined time of 1:41.94.
“Super-G went well – it was a fun
course,” said the 19-year-old from Toronto, Ont. “In slalom, you
could see everyone go down. It was intimidating because there were
some girls ripping it.
“I’m thrilled. I hope to keep
things going down the path they are going. I hope to ski well, ski
hard, ski fast. And I hope that’s good enough for a good result.”
Rounding out the podium was Marie-Pier
Préfontaine with a combined time of 1:42.10.
“This morning I had an OK run in
super-G. I just went for it in the slalom,” said Préfontaine, who
has been battling illness this week. “I’m happy with the podium.”
Whistler’s Britt Janyk was second
fastest in the super-G and had a lot of fun racing the slalom, an
event she hasn’t skied competitively for some time. She even had to
borrow slalom equipment from teammate Eve Routhier.
“I haven’t done much slalom
recently,” said Janyk, who finished fourth overall with a combined
time of 1:42.50. “I’m more nervous at the top of a slalom course
than a downhill. But it was good to run the super-G and get ready for
tomorrow.”
Hugues Ansermoz, head coach of the
ladies’ team, enjoyed the battle between Janyk and Gagnon in the
super-G, and the tough competition in the slalom portion of the race.
“We know we have some really good
slalom skiers,” he said. “Everybody was attacking – it was
pretty impressive.”
