Canada’s Abigail Strate climbed her first World Cup ski leaping podium and gained bronze on Saturday.
The 21-year-old from Calgary scored 236.3 factors over two runs and posted some celebratory pictures on Twitter afterword with the phrase “Blissful” and a smiling emoji.
Katharina Althaus of Germany gained the gold with 258.8 factors, whereas Ema Klinec of Slovakia was second (237.6).
Strate’s medal comes two weeks after teammate Alexandria Loutitt made Canadian ski leaping historical past, changing into the primary Canadian lady to achieve the highest of the World Cup ski leaping podium. It was additionally the primary time a Canadian ski jumper had gained World Cup gold since Horst Bulau in 1983.
