ANOTHER 1-2 FINISH FOR ALPINE CANADA!
VAL THORENS, FRANCE (January 9, 2015) – Canada’s dynamic ski cross duo has done it again.
Marielle Thompson of Whistler, BC and Georgia Simmerling of Vancouver, BC finished 1st and 2nd in Friday’s Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup stop in Val Thornes, France.
The teammates – and fierce competitors – had a thrilling photo finish to decide the 1st and 2nd place finishes, with Thompson coming out ahead by a fingertip of her Level glove. France’s Alizee Baron finished in 3rd.
It was Thompson’s second-straight World Cup win, having finished atop the podium in Nakiska, AB in early December. Simmerling also finished 2nd in that race.
