Canada’s strong X Games showing continues with Beaulieu-Marchand bronze
ASPEN, Colo. — Canada’s strong showing at the X Games continued on Saturday when Alex Beaulieu-Marchand captured bronze in the men’s ski slopestyle.
The Quebec City native scored a 92.00 on his first run, which included a switch double bio 1260 and a double bio 1260, to hold onto third place and his first X Games medal. Norway’s Oystein Braaten won the event with a 94.33 on his second run and McRae Williams on the United States, took silver with a best run score of 93.33.
The 22-year-old Beaulieu-Marchand was coming off a third place finish at a Dew Tour event in Breckenridge, Colo., in December.
“This is my first X Games podium. Mentally, I was stronger than I’ve ever been,” he said. “I think that was the missing piece in years past. I now see that I can be successful. I had no doubt at the start that I was going to land my run … I’m really happy with where I’m at mentally, and ready for more success.”
