Gagnon, Philp take Canadian National slalom titles
The Canadian Alpine National Ski Team wrapped up their competitive season Sunday and Monday (March 25-26) with slalom races in Mont Sainte-Anne, QC. Marie-Michele Gagnon and Trevor Philp took the titles while retiring racer Anna Goodman claiming her first Canadian Championships podium in second.
On Sunday, Gagnon, the defending Canadian slalom champion, closed her best season to date (ranked 10th in the World Cup slalom standings) by taking the win with the fastest run in each round. Goodman was 1.61 seconds back in second before taking part in a ceremonial farewell run down the course – dressed in a banana costume.
“It was pretty good,” Gagnon said. “It’s great that I just skied like I do in training – two good runs with no big mistakes. I’m happy.”
Canadian Madison Irwin and Norway’s Kristina Riis-Johannessen of UVM tied for third with identical times of 1:42.02.
Goodman, of Pointe Claire, Que., announced on Saturday that she plans to retire after an eight-year career with the Canadian Alpine Ski Team that saw her establish herself as one of North America’s best slalom racers and blaze a trail for a new generation of female technical skiers.
After the race, Goodman’s teammates, fellow racers and coaches gathered in the finish area to cheer her on as she took part in a comical farewell run down the course. Goodman, whose nickname is “Anna Banana,” decided to wear a huge yellow banana suit for the post-race celebration. When she finally made it to the bottom of the hill after a tricky run in the oversized costume, she was embraced by teammates, sprayed with alcohol-free champagne, presented with flowers and generally mobbed by the crowd.
“At first the top of the banana was flopping all over the place so I stopped. It was really awkward,” Goodman said. “Then I saw MP (Marie-Pier Préfontaine) at the side of the hill and I went to high-five her but instead I straddled the gate and fell and my ski fell off.”
Philp, of Calgary, Alta., who is still considered a junior racer, was second in the first slalom run and clocked the fastest time in the second to become the new Canadian champion in a two-run combined time of one minute, 37.77 seconds. Calgary’s Trevor White was second (1:38.52) and Mike Janyk, of Whistler, B.C., was third (1:38.79)
“I’m really excited right now,” said Philp, 20, whose previous best result at the Canadian championships was eighth in giant slalom in 2011 in Nakiska, Alta. “It’s a pretty cool feeling to win at Canadian champs.”
Philp currently skis for and studies at the University Denver and has had an excellent season, securing a World Cup spot in slalom for next season after ranking as one of the top two North Americans in the overall Nor-Am Cup slalom standings. He also secured a World Cup spot in giant slalom and super combined.
“Very pleased with it (this season) and how it went and hopefully it keeps rolling,” said Philp, who started a new school semester on Monday and is already looking towards next season. “Next year I hope to have a better combination of the skiing and school. I’m planning on still doing some school and hopefully be able to work with the (national) team more.”
Norway’s Jonathan Nordbotten of UVM and American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, lead the international racers in fourth and fifth, respectively.
