Calgary’s Alex Gough takes third in women’s World Cup luge competition

PARK CITY, Utah – Calgary’s Alex Gough finished third Saturday in a women’s World Cup luge event.

Gough claimed the bronze medal with a time of one minute 29.584 seconds. American Erin Hamlin finished first in 1:29.257 for her third career World Cup victory.

Compatriot Emily Sweeney tied her career-best World Cup finish by taking second in 1:29.384.

Natalie Geisenberger of Germany, the reigning Olympic champion, was fourth — one spot ahead of Summer Britcher of the U.S.
