Sometimes heartbreak is the name of the game, and that was the case for Summit High School senior Grace Staberg at Friday\u2019s 2020 Youth Winter Olympics individual ski mountaineering race in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

At Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, Staberg was the third-fastest of 22 female youth ski mountaineers in the individual race, completing the course in 1 hour and 21.24 seconds to put herself in bronze medal position. That time was behind gold medal winner Caroline Ulrich (58:34:48) and silver medalist Thibe Deseyn (59:38:58), both of Switzerland.<\/p>\n

But race officials gave Staberg a three-minute penalty due to a racing skin sticking out of her racing suit. That technicality put Staberg\u2019s official time at 01:03:21.24, which placed her seventh overall, still the top American racer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that this race is so much bigger than today\u2019s results because it is a huge step for our sport,\u201d Staberg wrote on her Instagram page. \u201cBut for now, I\u2019m feeling a bit beat up and battered. When you let yourself get emotionally invested in something, you open yourself up to growth, but you also sign up for a bit of heartbreak along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the boys race, Summit High senior Jeremiah Vaille finished in 17th place of 23 racers with a time of 56:58:99, a little over nine minutes off the pace of gold medalist Thomas Bussard of Switzerland (47:49.85).<\/p>\n

Staberg and Vaille will return to action for Monday\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s sprint competitions and Tuesday\u2019s mixed relay.<\/p>\n
