Canadian Emily Young wins bronze at Para-Nordic World Cup opener
CANMORE, Alta. — Canada’s Emily Young opened the Para-Nordic World Cup season with a bronze medal on Saturday.
It was the fourth career Para-Nordic World Cup medal for the 26-year-old, who also captured a bronze at last year’s IPC world championships.
“The sprints are a hard way to start. It’s a long day, but a good way to get everything going,” said Young. “My skiing got better as the day went on. It’s only December so for the first World Cup race of the season, it was really good.”
Neutral athletes Eakaterina Rumyantseva and Anna Milenina were the first two skiers to cross the finish line in the final.
