Canada's Éliot Grondin clinches snowboard cross Crystal Globe with silver-medal win in Quebec

Canada's Éliot Grondin won a snowboard cross silver medal at Mont-Sainte-Anne, Que., on Saturday to clinch the overall World Cup season title.

The 23-year-old from Sainte-Marie, Que., needed a top-three finish in Saturday's event to claim the Crystal Globe and accomplished that by narrowly losing the big final to Austria's Jakob Dusek. Nathan Pare of the United States took bronze.

Grondin now has back-to-back Crystal Globe wins on the World Cup circuit, and it comes a week after he won world championship gold in Switzerland.
