Reece Howden and Brady Leman sat down beside each other in the Craigleith Ski Club's south lodge on Friday to peel off their gear after the penultimate race of the World Cup season.
"He is so talented," said Leman, who finished eighth. "He's freakishly strong. He's huge and he's got a racer's mentality." "Reece is a super-focused athlete," said Canadian coach Stan Hayer. "He knows what he wanted this year. He's not giving an inch anywhere. He put his flex on in the final there. He's unstoppable when he's on."
The Calgary skier was squeezed out of contention early in the four-man small final, but stuck around the finish area to watch his teammate. He was the first to hug Howden after his victory.
