STONEHAM, Quebec (AP) — Canadian riders grabbed the top two spots in the season’s last big air contest on the FIS Snowboard World Cup tour.

Sebastien Toutant of L’Assomption, Que., earned 56.5 points to get the victory. Montreal’s Matts Kulisek (51 points) took second, and Austria’s Stefan Falkeis (50.6 points) was third.

Toutant, who won the Stockholm big air event in November, injured his hip in Austria last weekend. The 18-year-old Toutant says he wasn’t 100 percent Saturday “but it turned out pretty good.”
