Canada’s Max Parrot has locked up his second medal of the Beijing Olympics with a bronze in the men’s Big Air snowboarding event on Tuesday.
The Cowansville, Que. native also won gold in the men’s slopestyle earlier in the Games.
The latest medal is Canada’s 16th in Beijing — one gold, four silver and 11 bronze.
Big Air sees riders take three attempts down the hill with their two highest scores added together for a final total. Parrot had to rally to earn his medal after falling on his first run. The 27-year-old followed that up with a score of 94.0 in the second round then capped it off with a 76.25 in the final round for a total of 170.25.
