YAMAGATA, Japan – A day after becoming the first Canadian woman to win a World Cup ski jump event, Alexandria Loutitt joined with Abigail Strate to finish fourth in a team event Saturday.

The Calgarians finished just off the podium behind winner Austria, runner-up Norway and bronze medallist Germany at Zao Onsen Ski Resort.

Loutitt’s third and final jump of 96.5 metres was second only to Chiara Kreuzer’s second-round 97 for Austria.

Loutitt and Strate helped Canada earn a bronze medal when the mixed team ski jumping made its Olympic debut in Beijing last year.
