Emily Brydon, a local Fernie girl, won bronze March 3rd in the World Cup Downhill race in Tarvisio, ITA, her first World Cup podium of the season and Brydon’s result, along with today’s silver medal performance by François Bourque (New Richmond, QC) at a Giant Slalom in Kranjska Gora, SLO., push Canada to a best-ever 13 podium results for the season. (12 World Cup, 1 World Championships)
Brydon, wearing bib #11, tore down the notoriously long piste in Tarivisio to finish in a time of one minute 52.88 seconds.
“Every race I strive for the podium so when I’m actually on it, it makes all the hard work not seem so hard” said Emily.
