The 17-year-old from Parry Sound, Ont., who won silver in Italy in January, scored 76.15 points on her first run in the final to keep her in third place.

“This is absolutely crazy,” said Oldham. “This being my first year I’m very excited and never thought any of this would happen so just being on the podium is absolutely crazy,” said Oldham.

On the men’s side, Teal Harle of Campbell River, B.C., was the top-ranked of the three Canadians in the final with a fourth-place finish (83.95).
