Overview

• The four-time Olympian resumed competition after a 2½-year hiatus and secured provisional qualification through September events.
• He finished 14th and 16th at Grand Prix normal hills in Romania before placing 46th and 51st on Predazzo’s large and normal hills.
• Boyd-Clowes stepped away in 2023 citing burnout, worked in Calgary, and says the comeback feels fresh and motivating.
• Ski Jumping Canada’s high-performance director says the country needs a 60‑metre jump, with major facilities closed or limited and athletes based in Slovenia.
• Team prospects shifted as 2023 world champion Alex Loutitt sustained a season-ending knee injury, and qualifying a second Canadian man for a mixed team is described as a tall order.
