Frédérique Turgeon, Alana Ramsay add to medal haul at para alpine World Cup

Montreal's Frédérique Turgeon and Calgary's Alana Ramsay stood second and third on the podium for a second consecutive day following the women's slalom at a para alpine World Cup on Saturday in La Molina, Spain.

Turgeon, who turns 20 on March 25, crossed the line in a little over two minutes (2:00.19) while the 24-year-old Ramsay clocked 2:01.12. Marie Bochet of France won in 1:53.58.

Ramsay reached the World Cup podium for the first time this season on Friday after finishing fourth and sixth on two occasions earlier this week.

She has been trying to regain confidence in Spain after a non-injury crash in February during training for the world championships, where she won silver in giant slalom.

"I'm still working on getting back on my skis," Ramsay told Alpine Canada. "I am looking forward to feeling like myself and getting back into what I love doing best – bashing gates and going fast."

"It was a good day on pretty hot skis," said McKeever. "The boys in the wax cabin won the race for us today.
