Canada’s Kim McRae finishes seventh at luge World Cup in Lake Placid, N.Y.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Canada’s Kim McRae finished in seventh place at the luge World Cup in Lake Placid, N.Y. on Sunday morning.
Competing in a condensed three-race schedule in the post-Olympic year while juggling school, the 26-year-old chalked up a seventh-place finish in only her second race of the season. She made her return to the World Cup last weekend with a third-place finish on her home track in Calgary.
“It was pretty good, but honestly, everyone put their A game down today,” said McRae. “I feel like I am in a good place. I just wanted to come out and have two really good runs. They were good, but I need to work more on the start.”
The Calgary native clocked a two-run time of one minute 28.115 seconds down the twisty and challenging 16-corner track in the Adirondack Mountains. She was third on the Lake Placid track last year.
