Devon Kershaw's result today was not necessarily Canada's best individual distance result since 1988, when Pierre Harvey (Alex's father) won the 50k World Cup, in Oslo Norway, the year Alex was born. That was the same distance race that Alex Harvey came third in, in 2009.
FIS differentiate between stage wins on the Tour de Ski and seperate World Cup competitions. On their podium listings under their stats section FIS did not include Ivan Babikov's stage win in Val di Fiemme in the 2009 Tour de Ski. In thisTour's 15k classic event, Devon had the fastest time of the day, overcoming the pursuit start handicap and thus Devon's performance should be Canada's best performance since Ivan's win in 2009.
Alex Harvey and George Grey had a third place World Cup result in the 2009 team sprint event at Whistler.
Four Canadian women, Beckie Scott, Sara Renner, Chandra Crawford and Angela Schmidt-Foster have had individual World Cup podium results.
