Earlier this week he finished fourth and sixth in men’s downhill and super G. Then, on Thursday, in the category of alpine combined, (the composite times of two runs – one downhill, one slalom) he took a bronze. Historically ruled by Swiss, Austrians, and Americans, Crawford became the first Canadian to stand on the podium in alpine combined. Congratulations Jack!
