CALGARY – Canadian snowboarder Derek Livingston has the first World Cup podium finish of his career.
The 28-year-old from Aurora, Ont., scored 85.00 on Friday to finish third at the Halfpipe Rodeo World Cup event at Canada Olympic Park.
The top two spots were taken by Japanese riders. Yuto Totsuka (89.00) won gold ahead of Ruka Hirano (87.50).
Livingston was coming off a seventh place finish last week at the world championships and rode the momentum in front of the homecrowd after failing to crack the top-20 in either of his other World Cup stops on the 2019 circuit.
He opened his season at Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado 36th and followed in Switzerland with a 22nd-place showing.
His previous career best on the World Cup circuit was 12th place last season in Switzerland.
On the women’s side, Spain’s Queralt Castellet topped the podium with a score of 90.25.
China’s Cai Xuetong (88.25) captured silver while Japan’s Sena Tomita (87.75) grabbed the bronze.
Elizabeth Hosking of Longueuil, Que., was the top Canadian in 11th place (53.00).
