North Vancouver native Manuel Osborne-Paradis finished 25th in the Olympic downhill race held Sunday in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia.
Manny's time of two minutes nine seconds put him more than two and a half seconds behind the gold medalist, Austria's Matthias Mayer.
"All in all, I was happy with my run all the way down, I mean there were little mistakes but nothing big," Osborne-Paradis said following the race. "I was just nowhere near fast, so not really sure what happened."
Manny will have another crack at the medals in the Super G which will be held Sunday, Feb. 16 in Russia, (11 p.m. Saturday night Pacific time). He suffered serious knee damage in a crash in January of 2011 that kept him out of competition for nearly two full seasons.
Manny, who turned 30 on Saturday, has nine World Cup podiums in his career and this is his third Olympic Games. He finished 13th in the downhill in Turin in 2006 and 17th in Whistler in 2010.
