Canadians Rachael Karker and Noah Bowman medalled at the World Cup in Calgary.
On Saturday, the 25-year-old athlete once again put up a strong fight against Eileen Gu of China. Olympic champion Gu, who is also the defending world champion in the discipline, put on quite a spectacle, just as she did two days earlier in the Snow Rodeo. Her score of 93.50 on her second run allowed her to pull ahead of Karker, who finished with 85.50 points. Kexin Zhang of China completed the podium.
Local skier Emma Morozumi was the only other Canadian to compete in this second event in Calgary. She placed 12th in the qualifiers and was therefore not among the top eight who advanced to the finals.

The battle for the bronze medal was a tough one for the Albertan.
“It’s great to be able to ski here at home, in Calgary. I’m really lucky to be able to compete in front of my parents, my sister, my little nephew and my friends. This is a very special night for me.”
