WINTERBERG – Canada’s Cynthia Appiah earned silver in women’s monobob at the IBSF World Cup Winterberg on Saturday.
Appiah, from Toronto, finished with a two-heat time of one minute 58.53 seconds. It was her first World Cup monobob medal of the season and eighth of her career in the discipline.
“This feels amazing,” Appiah said. “It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my back.”
Laura Nolte took gold in 1:58.37 and fellow German Lisa Buckwitz picked up bronze in 1:58.57.
Appiah was fourth after the opening heat. She moved up two positions after posting the fastest run (59.38) in the final heat.
“It’s great to have the fastest run again,” she said. “It’s something I haven’t had since the last Olympic season. To have the fastest down time in the second run, especially on a German track where you know it’s going to be a tough battle, is huge.”
Melissa Lotholz of Barrhead, Alta., was sixth.
