Russia's Tatiana Ivanova had the fastest time in both heats and was an easy winner Friday in a women's World Cup luge race in Whistler, B.C.

Carolyn Maxwell of Calgary was the top Canadian in the field with a 12th-place finish.

Emily Sweeney was the top U.S. finisher, placing seventh. Summer Britcher of the U.S. struggled in her first run and finished last in a 28-racer field, yet remained third in the season long standings — two spots ahead of Sweeney.
