26-year-old slider from Calgary posted a time of 50.464
seconds, 0.573 seconds back of leader Natalie
Geisenberger. The German led the overall World Cup womens
standings this season and continued her dominance by
putting down a track record time of 49.891, ahead of
second-place Erin Hamlin of the United States (50.356)
and teammate Tajana Huefner (50.393). Gough finished
second overall in the World Cup this season and is aiming
to win Canadas first-ever Olympic medal in womens luge.
Calgarys Kimberly McRae was impressive in her first
Olympic appearance, finishing her first trip down the
track in sixth spot, trailing Gough by only 0.001
seconds. Arianne Jones, also of Calgary, sits 13th with a
time of 50.993. The second of four runs is scheduled to
begin at 11:45 a.m. ET.

game is checked off, 15 remain and the next one to get
crossed out could come Tuesday night when the defending
champion Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of their
Eastern Conference playoff series.

Unlike last year when nobody got in, there have been
estimates of as many as five getting voted in this time
around and as few as one, Greg Maddux.

Mario-Hezonja-Magic-Jersey/ . The 18-time
champions, who havent won the title since 1990, moved two
points behind Arsenal after the leaders were stunned 6-3
at Manchester City on Saturday. Defending champion
Manchester United trails Arsenal by 10 points after
winning 3-0 at Aston Villa to avoid a third successive
league loss.CALGARY - The Continental Cup of Curling
served as an incubator for mixed doubles curling. The
World Curling Federation believes the fast-forward
version of the sport has matured enough for inclusion
into the 2018 Winter Olympics.The WCF has asked the
International Olympic Committee to add mixed doubles to
the curling menu in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The IOCs
programme commission is expected to decide on it and
other proposed sports in April.A team consisting of just
a male and female curler sliding out of the hack and
chasing their own rocks down the ice is certainly a
novelty for those who follow the sport.Mixed doubles has
been part of the World Financial Group Continental Cup of
Curlings format since the events inception in 2002.To
give mixed doubles more legitimacy and thus more
consideration by the IOC, the WCF introduced a world
championship in 2008.The eighth world mixed doubles
championship will be in Sochi, Russia, in April at the
same time the IOC is meeting there.We have done our
homework, WCF president Kate Caithness told The
Associated Press in 2013. Hopefully it will appeal to the
IOC.The worlds top curlers are invited to the Continental
Cup and for most, its the only time they ever play mixed
doubles.Team Canada and Team Europe square off in a
second round of mixed doubles Saturday at this years
event here.Its an interesting concept, said E.J. Harnden,
who plays second for Olympic champion Brad Jacobs.Its fun
for the audience and fans to watch. Theres a lot of
action, big ends back and forth. I think the more we can
get the sport of curling in the spotlight and on the
international stage, more television coverage, more
awareness is great for the game of curling.Swedish skip
Niklas Edin isnt a fan of mixed doubles. The Olympic
bronze medallist says if the IOC adds another curling
event to the Winter Games, hed prefer full mixed gender
teams.Its too much up to chance. You have no sweepers.
Its boring to watch actually, Edin stated. I see how
other teams like it, but I dont think its a good sport
for the Olympics.You dont get good ice conditions when
you dont have sweepers and you throw (to) one side (of
the ice) all the time. You see so many big misstakes.
Afflalo-Magic-Jersey/">Arron Afflalo Jersey. The
quality is too low.What mixed doubles has working in its
favour for Olympic inclusion is traditional curling
countries dont dominate it.Canadas stars dont have time
to play in it because of their team commitments. Canada
has won just one medal — a bronze — in the seven-year
history of the world championship.Hungary won a world
title in 2013 with Spain, New Zealand, France, and
Austria also finishing on the podium in other
years.Stremlaw says there are several arguments in favour
of mixed doubles being in the Olympics. Thered be enough
ice time to fit it into the 16 days of competition, it
would add no more than two athletes per country and the
mixed gender aspect would appeal to the IOC, which wants
gender equality Olympic Games.The fact that it gives a
chance to other curling nations to aspire to greatness,
to aspire to podiums, the non-traditional ones, I think
all of those things work in its favour in a massive way,
Stremlaw said.The CCA hosts an annual mixed doubles
championship to qualify a team for the world
championship, but the discipline hasnt been a high
priority for the organization.That would change quickly
if the IOC gave it the green light for 2018. As a
powerhouse country in the sport, there would be a sudden
ramping up of mixed doubles in Canada.If it is a full-
fledged Olympic sport, theres going to be massive changes
I think in terms of training, what athletes are involved
and certainly as the governing body, were going to have
to make further investments, Stremlaw said. Were going to
have pressure from Sport Canada, Own The Podium, Canadian
Olympic Committee because theres going to be another
Olympic medal.Well have to set up a whole new system that
will ensure podium excellence.After winning gold in Sochi
in February, Harnden and Jacobs third Ryan Fry could not
imagine competing in mens curling and mixed doubles at
the same Winter Games.I cant speak for everyone, but I
would never try and play in both, Fry said. Its
definitely two different sports.The strategy and the
athleticism and the type of relationship you need to have
with your partner is a completely different dynamic than
you have with your team.
