Wild Wins Bronze

Vic Wild, a native of White Salmon who competes for Russia, won the bronze medal Tuesday in parallel giant slalom snowboarding at the Winter Olympics.  Wild defeated Roland Fischnaller of Italy in the bronze medal race, with Fischnaller unable to complete the course.  Wild finished ninth in qualifying runs, then topped Russian teammate Dmitry Loginov in the first knockout round and nipped Korea’s Sang-Ho Lee by one-one hundredth of a second in the quarterfinal.  He lost the semi-final to Tim Mastnak of Slovenia.  The 35-year-old Wild was a gold medalist in 2014 in both the parallel slalom and the parallel giant slalom events.  He placed 10th in parallel giant slalom in 2018, with parallel slalom having been dropped from the Olympic program.
