Pyeongchang-2018: Canada wins 9th gold medal

Baku. 21 February. REPORT.AZ/ Canada's Brady Leman won gold in men's skicross on Wednesday at the Pyeongchang Olympics, making up for his fourth-place finish at the Sochi Games four years ago.

Report informs, Leman was in the four-man big final with Toronto's Kevin Drury.

Drury finished fourth after crashing with Sergey Ridzik, an Olympic Athlete from Russia, early in the race. Because Drury lost a ski he wasn't allowed to try and get down the hill for a potential bronze. Instead, Ridzik got back on his feet and finished behind Leman and Switzerland's Marc Bischofberger.

Notably, it is Canada’s 9th gold medal and overall 20^th. In number of medals Norway took first place (30 medals), Germany - second place (23). Canada is in third place.
