In the women’s race, Sandra Naeslund and Fanny Smith of Switzerland finished 1-2 respectively, while Hannah Schmidt of Ottawa took the bronze medal.
Last week in Arosa, Schmidt and her brother Jared each topped the medal podium in their races.
In other Canadian women’s results Thursday, Marielle Thompson of Whistler was sixth, Brittany Phelan of Mont-Tremblant, Que., was eighth and India Sherritt of Cranbrook was ninth, in a field of 18.
