Lassila wins aerials event in Canada
Lydia Lassila has registered her first World Cup win in four years, with compatriot David Morris taking out third place at a freestyle aerials event in Canada.
It was a strong day for the Australian contingent three weeks out from the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Samantha Wells making the four-person super final at the Quebec resort of Val St Come to finish fourth while Renee McElduff was eighth.
Lassila hadn't topped a World Cup podium since January 2010, the Victorian going on to take gold at the Vancouver Winter Olympics a month later.
She took two years out of the sport to start a family and, before Tuesday's victory, had four runner-up finishes in the two years since her comeback.
It was Morris's first podium finish from four events this season, the 29-year-old completing the 2012/13 season with a flourish when he won a World Cup event in Ukraine.
