Snowboard cross season champion Grondin completes weekend sweep on home snow in Quebec

Canada's Éliot Grondin addressed some mistakes he made in Sunday's snowboard cross semifinals on the way to his second World Cup win in as many days on home snow at Mont-Sainte-Anne resort.

The 22-year-old shook off a minor ankle injury and held off Cameron Bolton of Australia in sun-drenched Beaupre, Que.

"A good start today but I made some small mistake in the semis," Grondin said after his seventh victory in 11 World Cup races this campaign. "I knew what to fix [and] went for [the win].

"I took some risk [at the start of the final], it paid off and I knew what I had to do to get to the bottom [of the course] in first and it held. It's good to get the back-to-back win at home in front of everyone."

Leon Ulbricht of Germany and American Jake Vedder were third and fourth. Vedder, who topped Grondin to win their semifinal heat, has yet to stand atop the podium in eight years on the World Cup circuit.

Grondin set a new men's record on the snowboard cross World Cup circuit with his sixth win of the season Saturday, defeating Bolton and Radek Houser of the Czech Repubic.

The Canadian missed a medal finish for the first time this season when he crashed out of the semifinal in the first of two events last Saturday in Montafon, Austria. He skipped Sunday's competition.
