Canada’s Leman, Simmerling earn silvers at ski cross World Cup event
WATLES, Italy — Calgary’s Brady Leman and Vancouver’s Georgia Simmerling both earned silver for Canada on Saturday at a ski cross World Cup event.
It’s Leman’s third podium finish of the season and Simmerling’s second.
“It feels awesome to be back on the podium,” said Leman. “It was a hard race today with difficult heats and there was lots of passing. You had to fight each round to stay in the mix but I’m happy with second-place. Things went really well today so I’ll stick with the game plan and roll it into tomorrow’s race. I’m excited for another chance.”
The Canadian team has been a dominant force on the World Cup ski-cross circuit this season. Saturday was no exception with five athletes finishing in the top 10.
