SOLNECHNAYA DOLINA, Russia - Canadian Reece Howden continued his dominance of the World Cup ski cross circuit on Saturday.
The 22-year-old from Cultus Lake, B.C., got off to a fast start and held on to win his fourth World Cup race this season.
Howden, who had already clinched the overall title last month, beat silver medallist Ryo Sugai of Japan in the big final. Joos Berry of Switzerland took the bronze.
"After those first few heats I was a bit nervous, but as I made my way through it, the confidence came back and when I was sitting in the start gate of the big final, I was feeling so good I just sent it - and I'm so happy with the result," Howden said.
