CALGARY — Alex Gough’s fist shot into the air after she crossed the finish line of Calgary’s sliding track.
Canada’s most decorated luger earned her first World Cup medal in women’s singles this season with a silver Saturday at Canada Olympic Park.
The 30-year-old Calgarian was second to reigning world champion Tatjana Huefner of Germany. Olympic champion Natalie Geisenberger of Germany was third.
“I’ve been close a couple of times this year already,” Gough said. “I knew I had the potential to be right up there with Natalie and Tatjana.
