COLLINGWOOD, ONT (March 22, 2011) – BC’s Kelly Steeves of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club finished first in the ladies’ super-G Tuesday at the K2 Canadian Championships. Vancouver-based Steeves crossed the finish line with a time of 43.18 seconds.
“I’m really excited to win. It was a great course,” said B.C.’s K2 super-G and giant slalom champion. “Today I put everything together. It wasn’t a perfect run but it was the best of my season.”
“I have great coaches this year – Rob Boyd is the K2 coach at our club and I worked with him all summer and this season. We feel pretty lucky to have him,” added Steeves.
Monday’s winner in the ladies’ super combined race, Collingwood-based National Ski Academy athlete Ronni Remme, finished second – 0.01 shy of first place. She clocked a time of 43.19.
“It is disappointing to come so close,” said Remme. “You look back and try to figure out where you made a mistake but I guess it is good to know there is more work to do, more places to improve upon.”
The ladies raced on a fast track that was kept in good shape thanks to the many volunteers working on the course.
“I did get a bit out of control on the jump, did a spread eagle,” added Remme. “I have been in this position before, losing by 0.01 seconds, but Kelly is a great skier.”
The podium was rounded out by Remme’s Ontario teammate Lizzie Currie, from Osler Mountain Ski Club, who finished with a time of 43.36.
