FRISCO \u2014 With a win Thursday, Mike Minor of Frisco made it three-for-three at the season-opening para-snowboard Europa and World Cup events in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

All week, Minor\u2019s goal was to break the 44-second mark on the 18-turn banked slalom course constructed at the indoor SnowWorld Landgraaf venue nicknamed \u201cthe freezer.\u201d On Thursday, Minor did just that in the upper-limb competition, finishing with a championship time of 43.87 seconds, making him the only snowboarder in any racing division to break 44 seconds this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to be back,\u201d Minor, a 2018 Paralympic gold medalist who did not compete on the World Cup circuit last season, wrote on his Instagram.<\/p>\n

Zach Miller of Wildernest won his third medal of the week with a third-place finish Thursday in the lower-limb two competition. Miller\u2019s time of 44.88 seconds was 0.62 seconds faster than his World Cup-winning time Wednesday but behind Matti Suur-Hamari of Finland (44.40) and Ben Tudhope of Australia (44.47).<\/p>\n

Copper Mountain Resort-based American riders and Adaptive Action Sports athletes Garrett Geros (47.63), Alex Rivera (47.65) and Joe Pleban (47.71) finished in ninth-, 10th- and 11th-places, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to see how the rest of this season will play out,\u201d Miller wrote on his Instagram. \u201cBut for now, it\u2019s time to celebrate and prepare for a cold couple of weeks in Finland!\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2019-20 para-snowboard World Cup season will continue with an event in Pyha, Finland on Dec. 3-4.<\/p>\n
