Maëlle Ricker leads the final run of the women’s snowboard cross event at Cypress tuesday.

Bumpy ride to gold andy Prest

aprest@nsnews.com West Vancouver native Maëlle Ricker moved a mountain yesterday, winning a gold medal in Olympic snowboard cross to become the first Canadian female to reach the top of the podium on home soil.

“What can you say — she grew up riding this mountain. . . . this is her place and she’ll remember it for the rest of her life,” said north Vancouver resident and longtime friend and teammate drew neilson moments after ricker crossed the line in first place by a wide margin to win the gold. “i’m ecstatic, i’m so happy for her. this being

the ultimate goal of any athlete in any sport — an Olympic gold,” added anthony Findlay, a north Vancouver trainer who has worked with ricker for four years and who was there at the bottom of the course. “she’s earned it, she so deserves it. everyone knows it. i guarantee everyone in the whole snowboard world is so happy for her too.” though the day ended in gold for ricker, it almost started in disaster. the Cypress course was treacherous during qualifying runs earlier in the day and ricker fell in her first qualifying run and did not end up with a fast

Canada’s ladies were well back in the field, with regan lauscher’s 15th-place finish leading the way. alex Gough placed 18th and meaghan simister came 25th. it was also a good day for Germany’s magdalena neuner, who won gold in women’s 10-kilometre pursuit biathlon. neuner, a six-time world champion, had been denied gold in an earlier biathlon event by slovakia’s anastasia Kuzmina, who added silver to her medal haul tuesday. marie laure Brunet won bronze for France. in men’s 12.5-kilometre pursuit biathlon, sweden’s Bjorn Ferry stormed ahead in the final lap to win by a comfortable 16-second margin, tailed by austria’s Christoph sumann and Vincent jay of France, who collected his second medal of the Games.

blindsay@nsnews.com North Shore physiotherapists are playing a huge role in meeting the medical needs of athletes during Olympic training and competitions — at least seven North Shore professionals will be volunteering or working at Games venues. lynn Valley’s Paige larson, a sports physiotherapist at north shore sports medicine Clinic and at deep Cove Physiotherapy, is the venue medical supervisor for the figure skating competitions at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, and is filling the same role during practice skates at the trout lake ice rink. her role organizing therapists and gathering supplies and equipment means that she has a free pass to all the skating competitions. “i will be there at every single one of them to make sure that everything runs smoothly. that’s the icing on the cake,” larson said. she explained that planning for the Games and developing protocol for medical personnel began several years ago. “We’ve gone over every possible scenario and we have plans for every possible medical situation.”

Figure skating practices began at trout lake on Feb. 4, and larson said her crew has yet to deal with an emergency. “it’s all falling into place. there’s been no major problems at all. it’s been a real smooth ride for us to get everything up and running.” this isn’t larson’s first time helping out at an international sporting event, and she said she’s keen to be involved again. “i’ve been to three Paralympics before, and i did the same role for the World Figure skating Championship in 2001. it’s really fun. i enjoy the work,” larson said. “it’s very rewarding; it’s just the highlight of my year.” larson explained that working at this year’s Olympics will give her a chance to reconnect with both colleagues and

Philippe leguellec was in contention for a medal, reaching second place at one point. however, he faded to fifth and was pushed to 11th by a penalty after an official’s error put him on the course before his start time. sang-hwa lee collected south Korea’s second speedskating gold in the women’s 500 metres. jenny Wolf of Germany, only five hundredths of a second behind lee in their pairing, took silver. China’s Beixing Wang won bronze. Canada placed 10th and 34th with Christine nesbitt and anastasia Bucsis.

balldritt@nsnews.com Canadians got a first look at their much-anticipated men’s hockey team in action tuesday night and the home side did not disappoint, seeing off the Norwegians 8-0.

Vancouver Canucks captain roberto luongo got the start in net and produced a 15-save shutout performance in the familiar setting of Canada hockey Place.

Facing him was Pal Grotnes, who some hockey fans may remember as the goalie who stopped 50 shots against Canada in a narrow loss at a 2008 world championship game.

Both keepers were sharp through a scoreless first period, which seemed to raise fears that the talent-laden Canadian squad, featuring nine nhl captains, might not find that allimportant team chemistry.

But norway conceded a holding penalty early in the second period and jarome iginla converted from the high slot. moments later, danny heatley redirected a Chris Pronger shot past Grotnes. norway’s best opportunity to stay in the hunt came when Patrice Bergeron and eric staal drew interference and holding penalties, but the visitors couldn’t capitalize on the ensuing 48-second five-on-three. mike richards also scored for Canada in the second period. a nifty backhand goal in front of the net from ryan Getzlaf heralded the end of Grotnes’ night, but backup goalie andre lysenstoen fared no better in the third period, conceding markers from heatley, iginla, Corey Perry and rick nash. the Canadian team, made up entirely of nhl stars, faced a norwegian side lacking a single current nhl professional.

Canada’s next game is against switzerland on thursday, Feb. 18. earlier in the day, the united states beat the swiss side 3-1 thanks to goals from Bobby ryan, david Backes and ryan malone. russia, one of Canada’s chief rivals for the gold medal, won their opening game against latvia by a comfortable 8-2, including a pair of goals from russian superstar alexander Ovechkin. in the men’s tournament, each team plays three games within their group. after the group stage, all 12 teams are ranked by points and the top four get a bye to the quarterfinals of the elimination stage. the bottom eight play an additional knockout stage to win a spot in the quarterfinals.

at uBC’s thunderbird arena, the american women’s team coasted to a 13-0 win over the russians. Finland earned a more modest 2-1 victory over the Chinese ladies.

Canada’s next game is today at 2:30 p.m., against sweden. the women’s tournament, which hosts only eight teams, works slightly differently than the men’s. after the group stage, the top four sides advance to the semifinals while the bottom four play eliminations rounds to determine fifth through eighth place.

athletes that she’s interacted with over the years. “it’s the people who really make the event. seeing the same people over and over at the events really make it something to look forward to,” she said, “seeing them and watching everybody grow and develop — it’s just rewarding to see it happen.”

Come the Winter Paralympic Games in march, larson will begin working as the physiotherapist for the Canadian national wheelchair curling team.

cypress ticket woes frustrate

photo Paul McGrath

jane seyd

Lineups for bus transportation to Cypress on espalande avenue in North Vancouver will likely be little shorter with the continuing cancellation of standing-room tickets to all events other than freestyle skiing aerials.

jseyd@nsnews.com aBOUt 28,000 Olympic fans had their tickets to events at Cypress Mountain cancelled this week after organizers decided deteriorating snow conditions had made the standing-room-only area unsafe for spectators. the decision means only fans with grandstand seats will be able to watch many of the popular events at Cypress over the next 10 days including both men’s and ladies’ snowboard halfpipe, freestyle ski cross and snowboard parallel giant slalom. the only events standing-room fans will now be able to attend at Cypress are the freestyle skiing aerials, where spectators are in a different stadium. the mass cancellations — which have the makings of a public relations nightmare — could cost up to $1.5 million in refunds. the bad news began on sunday, when 8,000 fans who had bought $50 general admission tickets for men’s and ladies’ snowboard cross events were told they wouldn’t get to watch their events and that their tickets would be refunded. On tuesday, organizers pulled the pin on the remaining standingroom tickets for the snowboard venue. heavy rain over the weekend washed away almost a foot of snow from the spectators’ area, leaving a thin layer of snow over bales of hale that had been moved in to build up the area prior to the competition.

Organizers said there wasn’t enough snow to build the standing room area back up and conditions weren’t safe enough for the expected crowds. they said ticket purchases will be refunded after the Games.

Peter Westwood was among those who bought four standing-room tickets to the women’s snowboard cross event on tuesday for his children, only to have them yanked by organizers.

Westwood said his kids grew up and skied with Canadian snowboard cross competitor maelle ricker, but had their chance to see her live dashed by the cancellations.

“We were devastated,” he said. “as a family we were looking forward to it.”

Westwood added he was doubly irked that organizers will only refund tickets bought through official channels. that means the $200 he paid to buy the tickets on Craigslist is essentially down the drain.

enough time to move on to the elimination finals. there was some debate about whether or not they would be able to run the second round of qualifying but eventually it did go off and ricker did too, ending up with the third best time. her teammate dominique maltais, ranked no. 3 in the world to ricker’s no. 1, was not so fortunate as she crashed in both her runs and did not advance to the finals.

But once ricker made it to the heats, each involving four racers at a time, she was unstoppable, advancing easily through her quarter- and semi-finals to reach the championship race. neilson was there on top of the mountain as ricker prepared for the race of her life. just like in her first two elimination races, ricker flew to the front of the field and didn’t look back.

“Cakewalk,” said neilson. “she’s so good out of the start, she’s always the first out of the start. and if she’s not first at the first feature she’ll be in first by the time she gets to the corner. she’s worked so hard for this. i’m so proud of her.” the noise at Cypress reached a crescendo as ricker came into view all by herself. Findlay joined in the cheering even though he could barely see ricker. “i couldn’t, i was crying,” he said, adding that he hopes this will earn ricker the recognition she deserves. “she is the best in the world — she proved that today but she has been for a long time. People don’t realize that.”
