Carson Valley's Steve Jacobo leads Americans in Para Sport World Championships
The 2018/2019 Para Sport season wrapped up this past weekend in a thrilling two days of competition, on American home ice in Lake Placid, NY.
For the Americans, Steven Jacobo established himself early as the frontrunner for Team USA, closing out the season with an eighth place finish on his home track. He rallied for the third fastest time of the fourth and final heat to show his promise in the sport.
Teammate Christ Rasmussen, however, struggled to find his rhythm on both days placing outside the top 10 in 12th.
Both days were dominated by the season's World Cup title winner, Lonnie Bissonnette of Canada, who beat out rival Corie Mapp of Great Britain by a crushing 0.86 seconds in combined time. This would become Bissonnette’s second World Championship title, after he won the inaugural Para Sport World Championships three years ago on American ice in Park City, Utah.
