Emma Lincoln-Smith has started the 2009/10 World Cup skeleton season where she left off, inside the top ten, finishing in eighth place in a weather-shortened event in Park City, Utah. In her first competition since finishing fifth in last season’s World Championships, the Sydney 23-year-old recorded a single run time of 51.62 seconds down the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic course, four tenths of a second behind race winner Anja Huber of Germany.
