Canada’s Roni Remme wins silver in alpine combined at World Cup
CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland — Roni Remme laid down the fastest slalom run of the day to earn her first World Cup medal — a silver — and put Canada on the podium in women’s alpine combined racing on Sunday in Switzerland.
Remme, who was fifth in the combined at this year’s alpine world championships in Sweden earlier this month, earned Canada’s first World Cup alpine medal of the season by posting a combined time of two minutes 15.58 seconds — just 0.38 seconds behind gold-medallist Frederica Brignone of Italy. Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener rounded out the podium.
“I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I might be. This weather, the snow, this atmosphere (reminded me of spring skiing). I love spring skiing. I tried to stay calm and just go for it,” said Remme, a product of Collingwood, Ont. “I felt like I’ve built on my (downhill) skiing all week and I’m really excited about my downhill (run) today.
