Canadian India Sherret, 28, wins gold for sixth career World Cup ski cross podium
Canadians India Sherret and Marielle Thompson, Hannah Schmidt and Fanny Smith of Team Switzerland compete during the FIS Ski Cross World Cup Men's and Women's Ski Cross on Dec. 13, 2024 in Val Thorens, France.Sherret, a 28-year-old from Cranbrook, B.C., won all her heats before finishing first in the big final for her sixth career podium.
Germany’s Daniela Maier claimed silver and Canada’s Marielle Thompson took bronze on a shortened course due to high winds at the French ski resort. “Super stoked to get the win today, and great to share the podium with Marielle,” Sherret said. “I’ve been chasing Marielle for a long time so it’s special to be on the podium with her. In the finals, I tried to get a good pull out of the start and then just hold off these great racers.
“This is such a nice course, it was disappointing to have to race on the shorter course today but it worked out okay. It may not have been my best work but I held it together and really happy with the result.”Thompson, last season’s Crystal Globe champion as the overall winner, captured gold on Thursday at the opening event of the World Cup ski cross season.On the men’s side, Toronto’s Kevin Drury claimed bronze for the second consecutive day.
