Canada's Éliot Grondin earns 2 silver medals at snowboard cross World Cup in Spain

Make it five podium finishes this season for Quebec snowboard cross star Éliot Grondin.

On Sunday, the 22-year-old finished second to Frenchman Merlin Surget, his second silver in as many days in Sierra Nevada, Spain, while Jakob Dusek of Austria took bronze.

Grondin, from Sainte-Marie, also boasts two gold and a bronze on the World Cup circuit after finishing the 2023 campaign with gold and bronze in back-to-back races to finish third in the overall standings.

At 16, Grondin was the youngest man on Canada's 2018 Olympic team when he placed 36th. He returned four years later, taking silver in the individual snowboard-cross race while helping Canada to bronze in the mixed-team competition.

Grondin also owns a bronze medal from the 2021 world championships.
