Canada's Marielle Thompson brought home a silver medal from Innichen, Italy with a second place finishing in the women's ski cross event.

Thompson, 26, finished just off the podium in fourth on Friday. The Whistler, B.C., resident added to her medal haul this season, having also earned a bronze in Arosa, Switzerland earlier this month. 

"After [Friday's] fourth place, I definitely wanted to step it up a notch," said Thompson. "I skied well yesterday, but I was definitely better today.

"Three finals in three races — I'm really stoked to come back from injury and be back where I wanted. I'm happy to be going home with a couple podiums."

Mikayla Martin was sixth, Pyeongchang champ Kelsey Serwa 10th and India Sherret 11th to round out the top results for Canadians on Saturday.

Joos Berry of Switzerland was victorious on the men's side, while siblings Bastien Midol and Jonathan Midol of France continued to crowd the podium, taking silver and bronze, respectively.

Reece Howden was the top Canadian in fifth.

Reigning Olympic ski cross champion Brady Leman, who scored bronze in Friday's race, was sixth.
