They finished the course in one minute 13.29 seconds at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
Austria’s Johannes Aigner and Nico Haberl captured gold in 1:11.99, just 0.16 seconds ahead of Italian duo Giacomo Bertagnolli and Andrea Ravelli.
Canada’s Kalle Eriksson along with guide Sierra Smith won a bronze medal in the men’s super-G vision impaired race at Milano Cortina 2026. It’s their second medal, after winning silver in the men’s visually impaired downhill competition.
Eriksson, of Kimberley, B.C., and Ottawa’s Smith won Canada’s first medal of the Games with silver in the downhill event on Saturday.
The Canadians have only been competing together since 2022. They won silver medals in the slalom and giant slalom at last year’s world championships and have earned 22 career World Cup medals across three seasons.
