Whistler (pps) Canada’s top luge athletes capped off their final competitive season before the 2010 Olympic year by holding the national championships at the Whistler Sliding Centre. Sam Edney, Alex Gough and the Moffat brothers all captured national titles in their respective disciplines at the 2010 Olympic venue in Whistler, B.C. earlier this month.
Edney, who was the top Canadian at the World Cup in Whistler in February, knocked off teammate, Jeff Christie to win his first national title with a two run time of 1:35.366.
Alex Gough, who had a breakthrough year and a historic fourth-place finish at the World Championships in Lake Placid, N.Y., won the women’s title with a time of 1:38.959, while the Moffat brothers of Chris and Mike had their sled in fine form as they captured their fourth consecutive Canadian Championship title in the men's doubles category.
