Grondin records consecutive snowboard cross golds with stylish win in Gudauri
Eliot Grondin sealed back-to-back Snowboard Cross golds, and his third in four World Cup stages, with a dominant victory in Gudauri.
The Canadian led from the front in the big final to finish ahead of Australia's Cameron Bolton, with Austrian Alessandro Haemmerle rounding off the podium ahead of Omar Visintin.
Victory in Georgia continues Grondin's early domination of the snowboard cross, with the Canadian boasting a lead of 108 points at the top of the standings after just four races.
"It feels really good, four big finals in a row with two wins in a row," Grondin said. "I think for tomorrow I just have to fix a few things that I was not doing so good today and we will see from there. I will do my best."
The women's race was won by France's Chloe Trespeuch, who clinched her first World Cup victory since the opening stage of the season in December.
Trespeuch finished ahead of two-time world champion Eva Adamczykova, who claimed victory in St. Moritz a week earlier.
Switzerland's Sophie Hediger took bronze ahead of Michela Moioli, who remains the closest challenger to Trespeuch at the top of the overall standings, 75 points back.
