Omischl grabs another World Cup bronze

Park City, Utah – Steve Omischl of North Bay, Ont., moved up from fifth to capture a bronze medal at the Chevrolet Freestyle International in Deer Valley, Utah on Friday.

Ryan St. Onge of the U.S. produced a huge first-round score of 130.83 with a quad-twisting triple somersault, then clinched the win on the last jump of the competition. His winning score was 253.05.

Joe Pack of the U.S. was second in 242.27 and Omischl, the defending overall men's World Cup aerials champion, was third for his second medal of the year. Omischl's score was 240.29.
