LAKE PLACID, N. Roddy White Pink Jersey .Y. -- Canadians Sarah Reid and Mellisa Hollingsworth are first and second after two heats in the skeleton World Cup opener in Lake Placid, N.Y. Reid had a combined time of one minute 51.72 seconds, just 0.02 ahead of her teammate at Mount Van Hoevenberg. Marion Thees of Germany was third. Reigning world champion Katie Uhlaender of the United States rallied after a poor first run with the second-fastest time on the second and was sixth, 0.70 off the lead. "The field is so strong, ridiculously strong," said Hollingsworth, a Eckville, Alta., native who finished second behind Uhlaender at worlds. "You look at the top 10 and any given day any one of those girls can be on top of this podium. I definitely dont take it for granted that were going into tomorrow with a little bit of a lead." The race is a three-heat event, and only the top 10 sleds qualify for the final heat. For Calgarys Reid, the day was a big surprise. "I had really good training days and things were kind of coming together," she said. "But my best result in the World Cup is sixth place, so to be sitting in first going into day two Im pretty excited." American Kimber Gabryszak missed the cut at 13th after the first two heats and a mistake-filled first run. "Ironically, its almost a relief," Gabryszak said. "The competition here is extremely intense. Im just glad to be here. I had a really rough first run, but the second run was good, so Im happy with that. "There is a little rust remembering how to handle the pressure of a World Cup. I used to hate this place, but its grown on me. I really thought I had a chance at the top 10, but that first run just killed me." The U.S. womens team is attempting to qualify a third sled for worlds in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in late January. Currently, Great Britain, Germany, Canada and Russia have three.
