Some bronze medals are worth their weight in gold. Valérie Grenier’s third-place finish in women’s giant slalom at the Mont-Tremblant World Cup certainly fits that category.

Grenier climbed two spots in Saturday’s second run, finishing with a combined time of two minutes 17.18 seconds to take bronze in the first of two races at the ski resort northwest of Montreal.

The 29-year-old from St. Isidore, Ont., who grew up skiing at Mont-Tremblant, was one second behind gold medallist Alice Robinson of New Zealand, who earned her second straight victory. WATCH | Grenier takes bronze in giant slalom:
