CBC
Canadian ski cross racer Reece Howden landed on the World Cup podium on Saturday in Idre Fjall, Sweden, winning a silver medal in the men's big final.
Howden, of Cultus Lake, B.C., finished just behind Sweden's David Mobaerg, who took gold.
Erik Mobaerg, also of Sweden, rounded out the podium, claiming the bronze medal.
Ottawa's Jared Schmidt won the men's small final for a fifth-place result, while Toronto' Kevin Drury finished right behind for sixth overall.
On the women's side, Whistler, B.C. racer Marielle Thompson finished fifth after winning the women's small final. That race included two other Canadians, Tiana Gairns, of Prince George, B.C., and Ottawa's Hannah Schmidt, who finished seventh and eighth, respectively.

Not so long ago, the prospect of two Canadians meeting in Italy’s Serie A would have seemed an unlikely turn. But on Tuesday night in Reggio Emilia, in the crisp, anxious minutes before the whistle blew and host Sassuolo dug in against Juventus, Ismael Koné and Jonathan David stood on opposite sides of the pitch, pretending not to know each other.
