Canada’s Alex Loutitt leaps to bronze at final women’s World Cup ski jump stop

Canada’s Alex Loutitt won the bronze medal in the large hill competition at the final World Cup women’s ski jumping event of the season.

The 21-year-old from Calgary, who was ninth in qualifying, reached her third podium of the season with a combined distance of 275.1 metres over her two jumps.

Nika Prevc of Slovenia finished comfortably in first with a total of 302.8 metres. Selina Freitag of Germany took silver with 277.4 metres.

Calgary’s Abigail Strate finished 11th, just missing out on her sixth top-10 result of the season.
