Jackson Goldstone stormed onto the podium in his first World Cup appearance on Saturday. The Squamish, B.C. junior finished second in the junior men’s downhill in Leogang, Austria.

Goldstone is no stranger to big events, of course, but 2021 is the first year that the Miranda Factory Team rider is old enough to race a World Cup. The multi-talented rider slotted into second in Saturda’s final, 0.545 seconds behind Spain’s Pau Menoyo Busquets (Commencal). Dennis Luffman of Canyon Collective FMD finished third.

Tristan Lemire (Commencal/Muc-Off) finished 16th, in another excellent junior debut, with Drew Mozell placing 22nd.

In the junior women’s race, Sophie Gutohrle (Austria) had a back-and-forth battle with France’s Leona Pierrini. The Austrian came out on top, though, winning the first World Cup of 2021.
