The sole Canadian to score at the opening World Cup giant slalom in Soelden was all smiles once again after the first European Cup GS races in Levi, Finland. Wearing bib 32, ‘Downtown’ Phil Brown secured his career-first Europa Cup podium on Thursday in a tie for third with Germany’s Dominik Schwaiger. Then on Friday, he rallied for the win ahead of Switzerland’s Elia Zurbriggen and Austria’s Roland Leitinger.

“Fired up about earning my first career European Cup podium in a tie for third. Crazy how this sport works,” the 23-year-old Toronto native posted on Facebook before adding, “Crazy couple of days in Levi. First podium yesterday and first win today! Finally found that gear I’ve been searching for in the second run. Thanks for all the support!”

Samu Torsti of Finland claimed victory in Thursday’s race, followed by the Norwegian Rasmus Windingstad in second. Canadian Trevor Philp (who also races for the University of Denver) was the next best North American behind Brown in 17th. Americans Kieffer Christianson and Michael Ankeny finished 27th and 28th, respectively.

A tighter race on Friday saw Brown win by a scant 0.03 second. Norway continued to favor well, lead by Windingstad in fifith and placing four athletes inside the top 15. Philp finished 18th and Ankeny was 26th to round out the North Americans in the top 30.

The Europa Cup series in Levi continues Saturday and Sunday with two men’s slalom races.
