A gold medal from home rider Matti Suur-Hamari in the last race of an action-packed weekend was the perfect end to the World Cup in Pyha, Finland.
The Finnish ski resort hosted two Para snowboard cross races on 13-14 February.
Suur-Hamari, a Paralympic champion in the men’s SB-LL2 snowboard cross, took a silver on the first day of competition in Pyha. He upgraded this result to gold on the second day when he outraced last season’s overall Crystal Globe winner Ben Tudhope of Australia.
