Canadian Brittany Phelan won a World Cup bronze medal in ski cross on Sunday, passing teammate Kelsey Serwa near the bottom of the race.

"It was a battle all day. I had really tough heats right from the start. I had to make a lot of passes all day, which I kind of prefer — it's way more fun to ski that way, but a little stressful at the same time. But I'm really happy with my approach and how aggressive I was with my skiing."

Abby McEwen of Edmonton advanced to the small final and finished seventh overall.

On the men's side, Toronto's Kevin Drury, who was Saturday's bronze-medallist, saw his Sunday race end in the quarter-finals.
