Canadian duo only athletes to break 70 point barrier
Canada's Laurie Blouin and Jasmine Baird captured the top two spots on the podium at a snowboard slopestyle World Cup at Bakuriani in Georgia on Sunday.
The victory was redemption for Blouin, a 25-year-old from Quebec City, who narrowly missed the medal podium at last month's Beijing Olympics.
She won silver at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games and was considered a strong medal favourite for Beijing.
Blouin scored 76.25 points for the victory. Baird, a 22-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., scored 70.00 points for silver.
Bianca Gisler of Switzerland was third (67.25).
