CanadiansDuff Gibson and Jeffrey Pain won gold and silver despite Pain nearly losing control of his sled coming around the penultimate corner. Switzerland's Gregor Stähli finished third, beating out Canadian Paul Boehm by only two tenths of a second to prevent a Canadian sweep of the podium.[1] Gibson dedicated his medal to his father, Andy, who had died in December 2005 after an 11-year battle with cancer.[2]
