Canadian snowboarders Liam Brearley and Cameron Spalding won gold and bronze, respectively, at a World Cup slopestyle event Saturday.
The 20-year-old Brearley, from Gravenhurst, Ont., scored 89.93 points to win the competition by more than four points over Japan’s Ryoma Kimata (85.31).
It was Brearley’s first career World Cup win. He’d previously won two silver medals and a bronze in slopestyle before Saturday’s breakthrough.
