The team of Valérie Grenier, Britt Richardson, Jeffrey Read and Erik Read gave Canada another surprise medal at the alpine skiing world championships in France, defeating the top two seeded countries to take bronze in today's mixed team parallel slalom event.
Last week, Canada's Jack Crawford pulled off a stunning upset to win gold in the men's super-G before world-championships rookie Cam Alexander scored an improbable bronze in the men's downhill.
Today's unlikely team bronze gave Canada its third medal of the world championships, tying a long-standing national record most recently equalled in 2017.
The mixed team parallel event is a bracket-style competition in which teams of four (two men and two women) from each country square off in head-to-head slalom matchups.
