Canada's gold medal count is now up to two, as Maelle Ricker snatched the top spot in the snowboard cross Tuesday. Ricker, 31 years old, also enjoyed the added pleasure of performing before a hometown crowd. The athlete is from West Vancouver and competing in her third Olympic Games. She entered the competition as the top-ranked rider in the world. Four years ago, Ricker suffered a concussion after falling in the final in Torino. France's Deborah Anthonioz won the silver medal, and Switzerland's Olivia Nobs took the bronze.
