Canada's Tyler Turner awarded Paralympic bronze after collision leads to review in snowboard cross final
Canada's Tyler Turner was awarded bronze following video review in the men's snowboard cross SB-LL1 final on Sunday at the Milano-Cortina Paralympics.
Turner, the defending champion, wiped out during the four-man big final after colliding with third-place finisher Junta Kosuda of Japan, but the judges ruled it was not incidental contact and Turner received the final spot on the podium.
China's Wu Zhongwei beat out American Noah Elliott for the gold medal at Cortina Para Snowboard Park in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Turner, a double-amputee from Campbell River, B.C., won Canada’s first-ever Paralympic title in the sport four years ago at his debut Games in Beijing.
The 37-year-old won his quarterfinal and semifinal earlier in the day and was the top qualifier on Saturday.
