Rahneva finished fifth at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, but has been on a tear during this season, including a win in Park City, Utah.
“Canada has a great history of incredible sliders and those are all athletes that I look up to,” Rahneva told Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton’s Chris Dornan. “I still don’t think I live up to their history of incredible results, but maybe it hasn’t sunk in yet. I admire everything about each and every one of those sliders. It’s nice to know that all of the effort over the years has accumulated to being on this list of Canadian world championship medallists.
“It doesn’t feel real yet because it all happened so fast. I love St. Moritz. I’ve been living with this sole purpose of being here and doing well at these world championships and today, I thought I didn’t have a chance, and then I did, it is just insane. Rahneva finished fifth at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, but has been on something of a tear during this season. She won a race in Park City, Utah, finished second at Winterberg, Germany, and hasn’t been any worse than eighth in any of her six World Cup events this season.Article content
“I was second off, and I think I just got really nervous,” Rahneva said of the third run. “I let it get to my head. I’ve been working a lot with my sports psych to manage the nerves. I acknowledged this race was important to me and I think the fear was greater to lose. I love this track so much. I wanted it so bad today that I think I just squeezed things so hard, and I should have been more gentle.
