Olympic wake-up call: Grondin slides into silver, Crawford makes Canadian alpine history

Éliot Grondin won Canada's 10th medal of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games on Thursday, capturing silver in the men's snowboard cross.

The 20-year-old from Sainte-Marie, Que., came within two-hundredths of a second of the gold medal, with Austria's Alessandro Haemmerle winning the race in a photo finish.
