Calgary’s Brady Leman hits podium, taking bronze at World Cup ski cross
INNICHEN, Italy — Canada’s Brady Leman captured bronze in a World Cup ski cross event on Friday.
The 32-year-old Calgary native, who won gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, finished behind two skiers from France at the World Cup — winner Jonathan Midol and his younger brother Bastien Midol.
It was Leman’s fourth career podium finish in Innichen.
“Racing here in Italy is always really tight. Every run is just a battle. There are places to pass the whole way down, and lots of guys are skiing really fast so it’s important to be really clean,” said Leman, who now boasts a first, second, and two third-place World Cup finishes on the course.
