Jennifer Heil, Canada First Olympic Gold Women’s Moguls Torino

Canada’s Jennifer Heil captured gold in women’s moguls Saturday in Sauze d’Oulx, Italy, four years after narrowly missing the Olympic podium in Salt Lake City.
Heil, the last skier down the hill by virtue of her first-place finish in the qualifying round earlier in the day, posted a score of 26.50, 0.85 points better than silver medallist Kari Traa of Norway, the 2002 Olympic champion. Sandra Laoura of France took bronze, 1.13 points back of Heil.
Heil’s gold was Canada’s first medal of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games and the first Olympic medal of her career.
