CALGARY — Mirela Rahneva felt more than medals were riding on her last skeleton races of the World Cup season.

The Canadian earned a silver medal in Saturday’s season finale a day after winning gold on her home track in Calgary.

The track, built 33 years ago at Canada Olympic Park for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, was the reason Rahneva moved from Ottawa to Calgary five years ago.

But the home of Canada’s bobsled, skeleton and luge teams for over three decades is in peril.

The refrigeration system scheduled for decommission next week and a planned $25-million renovation suddenly on hold, Rahneva raced Saturday hoping it wasn’t her last on the vintage track.

“The Calgary track is in jeopardy of closing and it would be a huge disappointment to the whole Canadian program,” Rahneva lamented while standing next to the barrel of the kreisel, which is a donut-shaped turn on the track.

“A lot of us have moved out here and this is a major hub. It’s a city you can work in, go to school in, have a life and also slide. It would be really, really sad to lose that.”
