VEYSONNAZ, Switzerland — Canada's Eliot Grondin closed out the men's snowboard cross season Sunday with a victory at the Veysonnaz World Cup.
Grondin, a 20-year-old native of Sainte-Marie, Que., finished ahead of Merlin Surget of France in the final. Leo Le Ble Jaques of France took the bronze.
"I just really rode the plan that I had with the coaches and made some great decisions at the right time," Grondin said on a conference call. "It paid off for the win."
Grondin won Olympic silver last month at the Beijing Games.
