Canada’s Mollie Jepsen continued her hot start to the season with a victory in the giant slalom at a Para alpine World Cup on Friday, her fourth consecutive podium finish.
Her early-season performances come after a hiatus of nearly two years for the Canadian Para-Alpine team due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At the start of the season, I tried really hard to have low expectations, but I think at times that can be hard after having such a good 2020 season prior to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Jepsen said.
The 22-year-old from Vancouver captured four medals at the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympics, including gold in the super combined.
Canadians Kurt Oatway and Alana Ramsay were both fifth in their races Friday.
