Canadian Serwa wins gold in ski cross

Pyeongchang (SID) Kelsey Serwa won gold in ski cross at the Pyeongchang Winter Games, continuing Canada's dominance in her discipline. The silver medalist from Sochi 2014 beat her compatriot Brittany Phelan and runner-up Fanny Smith (Switzerland) in the final. World champion Sandra Näslund (Sweden), the dominant athlete of the World Cup winter, only stayed in fourth place. The only German starter, Julia Eichinger (Neureichenau), was eliminated in the round of 2014, as was the Canadian Marielle Thompson, Olympic champion in Sochi in 2010. As with the Olympic premiere of their discipline in 2014 in Vancouver and 18 in Sochi, the German ski crossers come away empty-handed. In the men's category, Paul Eckert (Samerberg) was the best of a German trio in XNUMXth place. “I got off to a pretty good start, but then I made a few small mistakes that were very annoying because they cost me speed,” said Eichinger on ARD. Because of the slow route after snowfall, "I had to watch the others drive away, it just didn't work anymore, you despair because you can't make any progress." Näslund saw himself hindered by Smith in the final and lodged a protest, which was rejected by the race jury. “What the hell did you do?” Näslund shouted at the finish to Smith, who had thrown out her elbow in the fight for places. “It wasn’t fair,” Näslund said through tears. Former junior world champion India Sherret (Canada) fell in the round of 2010 and had to be rescued with the rescue sled. Before Serwa and Thompson, Canadian Ashleigh McIvor had already won the Olympic ski cross premiere in Vancouver in XNUMX. In the men's event, Canadian Brady Leman won gold in Pyeongchang.
