Canadian team looks to rebound at worlds in Cortina

The 2020-21 season has been mostly mediocre for the Canadian team on the World Cup circuit. There have been some highlights and moments – one medal and a small handful of top 10 finishes – but as a whole they have no lived up to expectations. A bronze medal by Marie-Michèle Gagnon in a women’s super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany is the marquee highlight with more than half of the season completed. Compare this to the U.S. ski team who have 11 World Cup medals between four skiers.
