Canada's Marielle Thompson is once again atop the ski cross podium. The Whistler, B.C., native won silver on Thursday at the World Cup stop in Austria, her fifth medal in eight races this season.
Thompson, 30, now has three silver medals to go with a pair of bronze. Sweden's Sandra Naeslund continued her streak of winning every single gold medal in the 2022-23 campaign, while Germany's Daniela Maier rounded out the podium with bronze.

After a 17th-place finish at the 2018 Olympics, Thompson nearly missed out on 2022 entirely when she suffered a knee injury less than a year before the Games.
However, the Canadian rebounded to score silver in Beijing, once again placing behind Naeslund. Fellow Canadians Hannah Schmidt and Tiana Gairns were eliminated in the semifinals in Austria.
