Canada's Mollie Jepsen continues tear with 3rd-place finish in Para alpine World Cup giant slalom
Vancouver native is 5-for-5 in podium finishes this season
Canada's Mollie Jepsen is a perfect five-for-five in podium finishes after racing to third in a Para alpine World Cup giant slalom in Switzerland on Saturday.
The promising start to the season comes after Canada's Para-Alpine team went almost two years without international competitions due to COVID-19.
"Coming back this season, I didn't have any results-based goals and I still don't," Jepsen said.
The 22-year-old from Vancouver captured four medals at the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympics, and will look to climb the podium in Beijing.
"We only have so many starts and I am trying to utilize every experience and learn from it so I can be better the next time I push out," she said. "I am trying to just focus on the skiing. I know there is more in the tank and I am getting more comfortable every time I push out of the start."
The team competes again Sunday in Switzerland.
