Calgary's Abigail Strate became the latest Canadian women's ski jumper to land on a podium Saturday when she finished third at an FIS event in Hinterzarten, Germany.
It was the Beijing Olympics bronze-medal winner's first time finishing on the podium in an FIS World Cup Ski Jumping event.“After a bit of trouble, figuring out the rhythm of the hill in the training rounds, I’m glad I was able to put two and two together when it counted. I like this hill, and I am very much looking forward to more ski jumping tomorrow.
”Strate's bronze medal comes a few weeks after Canadian teammate Alexandria Loutitt's gold-medal finish two weeks ago in Zao, Japan. Loutitt didn't jump in Hinterzarten, because she's competing at an FIS World Junior Championships in Whistler, B.C.
