Emma Lincoln-Smith has finished in 11th place in the skeleton World Cup on the 2010 Olympic track in Whistler, British Columbia.

Lincoln-Smith posted a total time of one minute 52.21 seconds for her two runs, 2.35 seconds slower than race winner Marion Trott of Germany.

Lincoln-Smith’s AIS team-mate Michelle Steele slid to the 18th fastest time in the first run, but produced the 12th fastest trip in the second run.

That was only enough to lift her to 17th overall, however, 3.49 seconds behind the gold medallist.

The silver medal went to Amy Williams of Great Britain, while Germany’s Anja Huber took the bronze.

The track, which will host skeleton, bobsleigh and luge events at next year's Winter Olympics, is particularly testing, claiming several sliders this week.

AIS skeleton coach Terry Holland has described it as "an elevator shaft with ice".

Trott has moved to second on the World Cup standings on 1137 points, 11 behind Shelley Rudman of Great Britain.

Lincoln-Smith is in 11th place on 832 points, while Steele is in 18th position on 693 points.

Another skeleton World Cup will be held in Salt Lake City next weekend.
