The 26-year-old Thompson, who tore her ACL and MCL four months before the 2018 Olympics, finished 17th in Pyeongchang. She won gold at the 2014 Games in Sochi.

Thompson finished first in each of her heats before Saturday’s final.

She was coming off a second-place finish at a World Cup at Blue Mountain last weekend.

Kelsey Serwa, the 2018 Olympic champion from Kelowna, B.C., was first in women’s small final for a fifth-place finish overall.

Brittany Phelan of Mont-Tremblant, Que., who won skicross silver at Pyeongchang Games, was sixth. Mikayla Martin of Squamish, B.C., was listed among the small final participants but did not start.

Drury and Leman both finished first in their respective four-man semifinal heats.

Canadians Chris Del Bosco and Reece Howden did not advance past the 1/8th finals.
