​Spring, accompanied by Bryan Barnett, Lascelles Brown, and Neville Wright, clocked a two-run time of two minutes, 8.95 seconds to secure third place. 

"I have always had a good feeling on the track here, and I feel like I've been unlucky not to podium before so I'm happy to have medalled today on such a historic track," said the 33-year-old Spring.

"It's special here every year. The mountains have this feeling for me of being just like Whistler, so I feel a bit at home here."
