Canadians grab medals CALGARY (CP) — Jean-Mare Rozon performed a smew jump to near perfection Tuesday to win gold while fellow Quebecer Lloyd Langlois grabbed a bronze in the aerial event of men's freestyle skiing, a demonstration sport at the Olympic Winter Games. Rozon, 26, of Sherbrooke, Que., came through with two brilliant jumps in front of more than 30,000 people to reinforce his position as the No. 1 aerial competitor in the world. His closest opponent was silver medallist Didier Meda of France, whom he beat by more than 30 points. Jumps up to 15 metres in the air are judged on takeoff, manoeuvres in air and landing. Langlois was less than three points behind Meda and might have taken the silver if not for a flaw during landing in his first jump. Rozon's first jump was the new one, at least for him. He did three backward somersaults while twisting four times and he “nailed it,” building a huge first-round lead. His second jump featured only three twists, but he again earned high marks and couldn't be caught. DOESN'T COUNT Medals awarded in the event don't count in the Olympic standings. Rozon and Langlois, of Magog, Que., said they are confident freestyle skiing will be an Olympic medal sport by 1992 in Albertville, France. “It's a good sport and you see today no injuries, nobody got hurt,” said Rozon. “I'm sure it's going to be in Albertville in 1992 because it’s a serious sport.” Aerials are one of three components of the freestyle skiing competition. The others are ballet and moguls, but aerials draw the most fans. And they draw the most excitement from those fans. * When aerials began in earnest in the 1970s, people called competitors hotdogs. But the sport has developed, Langlois said, and any mention of the world hotdog draws cringes. “The Canadians were always the best in aerials,” he said. “Canadii and Q is — French-Canadi ~ By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Atom Reb- els beat Beaver Valley 5-2 in the final league game of the season on Saturday.
