Canadian luger Sam Edney wins World Cup silver on home track in Calgary
CALGARY — Sam Edney spun home-track advantage into silver at the Viessman Luge World Cup on Friday.
The 33-year-old from Calgary finished second to Germany’s Felix Loch at Canada Olympic Park, where Edney estimates he’s logged hundreds of runs in his career.
The Canadian team returned from the season’s first two World Cups in Europe with a single silver medal in the team relay.
“Not only did I need it, but the team needed it for sure,” Edney said. “Just to get this in front of the home crowd and my last race in Calgary is a pretty special one.”
