WHISTLER, B.C. — Germany’s Kim Kalicki and Anabel Galander slid to gold in the first bobsled World Cup of the season in snowy Whistler, B.C., on Saturday.

The duo finished the two-heat race in a time of one minute, 45.93 seconds, 0.20 up on Melanie Hasler and Nadja Pasternack of Switzerland. Americans Kaillie Humphries and Emily Renna took bronze.

Bianca Ribi and Niamh Haughey were the top Canadians in the field, finishing in fifth. Canada’s Cynthia Appiah and Leah Walkeden came in sixth.
