Canadian snowboarder Jasmine Baird won big air bronze on Saturday at the first event of the 2022-23 FIS Snowboard World Cup season in Chur, Switzerland.

The 23-year-old from Georgetown, Ont., claimed a spot on the podium with a total score of 131.25 points, finishing one spot behind two-time reigning Olympic champion Anna Gasser of Austria (164.75).

Japan's Reira Iwabuchi captured gold with 180.75 points, starting strong with an opening jump that earned the top score at the Big Air Chur Festival (90.75).

The best two of three jumps count toward the final score. Juliette Pelchat of Whistler, B.C., finished 21st (12.00). Baird also won big air bronze at last year's season-opening World Cup event in Chur.
