HINZENBACH – Canada’s Abigail Strate won bronze on Sunday for her first World Cup ski jumping medal of the season. 

Strate, from Calgary, scored 226.6 points over two jumps on the normal-size hill. She covered a distance of 86.5 metres on her first jump and 87.5 metres on her second.

“I decided I was going to go for it,” she said. “It either works or it doesn’t. In a top sport like this the margin is so small, you can’t be half in.”
