‘Unstoppable’ Grondin set for date with destiny in Montafon

On current form, the rider who has stood on every Snowboard Cross FIS World Cup podium this season needs only to stay on his feet in the Austrian Alps this weekend to secure the first crystal globe of his career.

Such has been the total dominance of Eliot Grondin (CAN) on the men’s circuit this season, the 22-year-old Canadian can wrap up the title with three races to spare on Saturday.

Failing that, two finishes of no lower than 19th in the double-header in Montafon, Austria would give Grondin all the points he needs to cut the fine threads on which the crystal globe hopes of Alessandro Haemmerle (AUT) and Cameron Bolton (AUS) have been dangling in recent weeks.

Not that Grondin himself would admit to having ‘done the math’.

“I haven’t seen the numbers and I don’t even care, to be fair,” he said in typically relaxed style moments after claiming win number five in Cortina d’Ampezzo last weekend.

“Yes, for sure I want the globe but right now I’m not racing for it, I’m racing for me and I’m racing to have fun.”

At times this season, Grondin has made the high-octane sport look easy. Five wins, two runners-up spots and a solitary finish of third in the eight FIS World Cup races have given him huge leads of 372 points over nearest challenger Haemmerle and 383 over Bolton in third.

“Eliot has been largely unstoppable this season,” Bolton says. “He hasn’t missed the podium once this season – it’s very, very greedy. He’s earned everything he has achieved, and I’m stoked for him. 

“I’m not sure if we’ve ever seen a season like it. We’re all just racing for second in the overall now.”

Haemmerle is himself no stranger to sporting supremacy, but even he missed plenty of podiums during his crystal globe-winning seasons of 2019, 2020 and 2021.

“Eliot has had a really impressive season,” the 30-year-old says. “He is riding really well but to reach these kinds of levels you need more than just good riding. The whole team needs to be on-point every race. They have deserved the globe more than anyone this season.”

Haemmerle is frustrated with his own recent performances in Sierra Nevada and Cortina, having exited at the quarterfinal stage on tracks shortened by around 300 metres due to a lack of snow. It is little surprise, then, that he is keen to get back to longer-format racing in front of his family and friends in Montafon, where he won the last World Cup held there in December 2021.

“It’s always a big push to ride in front of your home crowd – it just feels different, and it’s really a privilege to have this possibility,” Haemmerle says. “I am hoping for a more challenging course. We have a lot of snow at home, which opens up the range of elements which can be built.”

So much snow, in fact, that organisers were forced to cancel a testing of the course on Wednesday.

“Montafon always puts on an incredible event and it’s one of my favourite stops on tour,” Bolton says. “I’ve seen snippets of the track and it looks incredible – I can’t wait to race it.”

A familiar name sadly missing from the men’s start list for Montafon is Lucas Eguibar (ESP). The 2021 world champion ruptured the Achilles tendon in his left foot in Cortina and underwent surgery in Innsbruck, Austria, on Tuesday.

Trespeuch back as race for women’s crystal globe hots up

In better news on the women’s side, overall FIS World Cup leader Chloe Trespeuch (FRA) says she is “back to 100%” fitness after her own ugly crash in Sierra Nevada a fortnight ago. The 29-year-old collided with Charlotte Bankes (GBR) as they raced to the line in the Big Final in Spain.

“I had big pain in all my face just after the crash,” she recalls. “I saw the blood but I didn’t know where it had come from. It was scary but nothing serious.”

Nevertheless, Trespeuch had a rare off day in her next outing, finishing eighth under the lights in Cortina.

“I didn’t find any solutions to do some correct starts,” she said. “I think I was fast on the bottom but it was too late to build some great passing (opportunities). It’s the game and not a problem for the rest of the season.”

The top three on the women’s podium for the December 2021 staging of the World Cup in Montafon has a familiar ring to it: Charlotte Bankes (GBR), Belle Brockhoff (AUS) and Chloe Trespeuch (FRA).

All three have been fighting it out this season and a similar result across this weekend’s double-header would boost Bankes’ own late bid for the globe and heap more pressure on Trespeuch. The French rider has seen her lead over second-placed Michela Moioli (ITA) shrink to only 58 points in recent weeks.

“I really like pressure, it’s why I do Snowboard Cross,” Trespeuch says. “I like challenges, so it’s just a motivation for me to play for this crystal globe. 

“Competition is what I love – we will see the ranking in the end. And until the last competition, nothing is fixed, and this is what’s interesting in a World Cup season, no?”

WEEKEND SCHEDULE

The action in Montafon begins with qualification runs on Friday, with the men’s and women’s races slated for 15:45 CET on Saturday and 14:15 CET on Sunday.

Grondin finished first, qualifying for the final with a time of 1:03.54, as Austrian Alessandro Haemmerle finished in second while Spaniard Lucas Eguibar took the bronze medal.

This is the first victory of the season for Grondin, and the fourth in his career, marking an excellent start to the season for the Quebec native.

Grondin ended last season with a victory at home, at Mont-Saint-Anne.

Fellow Canadians Evan Bichon and  Liam Moffatt  placed 17th and 28th, respectively, in Sunday’s competition.

Among the women’s competition, Canadian  Meryeta O’dine  finished in eighth.

The next stop on the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup circuit will be in Pitztal, Austria from Dec. 9-10.

Canada’s Grondin wins season-opening World Cup snowboard cross event

ROMANS-SUR-ISÈRE, France — Eliot Grondin won the season-opening men’s World Cup snowboard cross on Sunday.

The 22-year-old from Sainte-Marie, Que., edged reigning Olympic champion and runner-up Alessandro Haemmerle of Austria in Sunday’s final by less than a tenth of a second.

“I had a good start and protected the lead the whole way down,” Grondin told the FIS website. “I had great speed all week and have been racing some super good guys all day, especially Alessandro over the first three rounds. 

Grondin finished first in his round-of-16 race, quarterfinal and semifinal en route to the four-man final at Les Deux Alps resort.

“It’s a crazy day really after winning qualifications in the morning,” Grondin said.

Spaniard Lucas Eguibar was third in the final.

Grondin was the Olympic silver medallist and teamed with Meryeta O’Dine for bronze in the inaugural mixed team event in 2022 in Beijing.

O’Dine of Prince George, B.C. was eighth in Sunday’s women’s race.

The next snowboard cross World Cup races are Dec. 15-17 in Cervinia, Italy.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2023.

Canada's Grondin earns snowboard cross World Cup gold, first career Crystal Globe

BEAUPRÉ, Que. — Eliot Grondin wrapped up the 2023-24 season making history on Sunday.

The Sainte-Marie, Que., native earned his second World Cup gold medal of the weekend and his first career Crystal Globe in men's snowboard cross action. Grondin became the first Canadian male to claim the snowboard cross Crystal Globe.

It was presented to him by the only other Canadian to do so, Dominique Maltais.

Sunday's victory was the tenth World Cup medal of the season for Grondin, breaking the all-time record in snowboard cross. It was also his seventh gold of the campaign, which matched France’s Pierre Vaultier record of seven World Cup wins in the 2013-14 season.

“It means a lot. I have been riding well all year and super consistent. Having seven wins in one year is crazy," Grondin said. "Now to have the win and the globe at home in front of family, friends and fans is such a great feeling.”

Australia's Cameron Bolton and Germany's Leon Ulbricht earned silver and bronze, respectively.

Having placed first in qualification on Friday, before winning on Saturday, Grondin completed a streak of seeding first for every World Cup race this season, a feat never achieved in the history of the sport.

For the 22-year-old Grondin, it was even nicer to accomplish it all at home.

“Winning at home is the best," he said. "Winning in Europe is cool but winning here with all my family and friends watching and supporting is amazing.

“It probably was one of my best starts, I held it top to bottom. It was probably my best run. Today was challenging, the guys were super-fast at the start section, but I had a good plan and knew what to do.”

Grondin is the reigning Olympic silver medallist in the event.

Who killed Andrea Eilber? What a new suspect means for man originally charged

LAPEER COUNTY, MI – Kings Mill Road is a short jog across the heart of rural Lapeer County.

It’s a road less traveled, but on Nov. 16, 2011, officers from several police agencies converged on the area when 20-year-old Andrea Eilber was found dead from a single gunshot to the head in the basement of her aunt and uncle’s Mayfield Township home.

While Kenneth “KC” Grondin, Eilber’s then 19-year-old boyfriend, became the primary suspect, more than a decade later he’s been released from prison after an overturn of his eventual conviction.

Newly-tested DNA evidence and the recovery of the alleged murder weapon in the case have led police to a new suspect – Chadwick Shane Mobley.

The new turn in the case began in January when Michigan State Police, which led the investigation into Eilber’s murder, got a message from a private Texas laboratory.

DNA found on a cigarette butt collected at the scene of the murder, sent to the lab a year earlier by investigators, produced a match, according to affidavits obtained by MLive/The Flint Journal.

In early June, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office authorized murder charges against Mobley, 42. But what do these charges mean for Grondin?

That depends on who you ask.

“Kenneth Carl Grondin III is absolutely innocent of this wrongful charge,” Brian Legghio, Grondin’s current attorney, said in an email to MLive/The Flint Journal. “He’s always been innocent. The Michigan State Police wrongfully investigated this case from day one. Chadwick Shane Mobley is the real killer. Now is the time for the Michigan Attorney General’s Office to do justice and dismiss this wrongful murder charge against KC Grondin.”

In an email to MLive/The Flint Journal, the AG’s office stated its continued belief that Grondin was involved in Eilber’s death. MSP officials also have said as much, with one investigator saying the agency always believed there were two people involved in Eilber’s death; it was just a matter of finding the second person.

Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Amy Hofmeister, Eilber’s father, Grondin and his parents all declined to be interviewed for this story, but past reporting, as well as Lapeer County court filings, trial transcripts, case exhibits and court orders reveal more details in the case.

The death of Andrea Eilber

Her favorite color was green. Her smile could light up the neighborhood.

And her bedroom? It was lime-green – vibrant like Eilber’s outgoing personality which family and friends shared in November 2011 outside LakeVille High School, where more than 100 people gathered for a candlelight vigil.

Two days earlier, Eilber’s body had been found in the basement of her aunt and uncle’s home off Kings Mill Road. They were out of town and told their niece she could housesit, according to court records.

On Nov. 14, Eilber and Grondin planned to spend the night alone at the home, the records show, but Grondin told police he arrived around 7:45 p.m. and Eilber wasn’t there.

He texted Eilber, asking where she was, but he eventually received a message at 8:13 p.m. canceling the plans altogether, records show.

For the rest of that night and the next morning, Grondin called Eilber’s phone 75 times, but court records note each call went to voicemail. At around 9 p.m. Nov. 14, Grondin began texting someone else, a woman he knew from working together at Kroger.

The woman later said she saw Grondin at Kroger around 9:15 p.m. and invited him to her house to watch movies, according to trial testimony. Grondin, she would later say, had been complaining about Eilber canceling plans with him.

Surveillance video showed Grondin leaving Kroger around 9:30 p.m. and making purchases at a Walmart gas station at 9:42 p.m., according to court records. He was wearing a red University of Alabama T-shirt and gray sweatpants.

Grondin showed up at the woman’s house roughly 15 minutes later, his phone pinging off a cell tower near the location shortly thereafter, per court records. At 10:23 p.m., Eilber’s debit card was used at a Hantz Bank ATM in Davison.

The woman said Grondin watched a movie and left around midnight, according to her court testimony.

Eilber’s father, Steve, called police the night of Nov. 14 and said his daughter was missing. Officers said they went to the home where she’d been staying, but there was no answer.

One of Eilber’s aunts went to the home to look for her niece the next day, according to court records. She found the house dark, with no signs of Eilber’s vehicle.

Eilber’s father filed a police report. Meanwhile, records show, his daughter’s friends and coworkers formed a search party that didn’t include Grondin.

The search party found Eilber’s vehicle abandoned in the parking space of a state game area on 5 Lakes Road, less than two miles from where her body was found, officials previously said.

Police entered the Kings Mill Road home and found Eilber’s body positioned on a chair in the basement, officers said. A medical examiner testified Eilber was likely bound to the chair where police said she’d been shot.

Eilber’s aunt and uncle said items were missing from the home, but other items of value were left behind, according to trial testimony.

Thirty-seven minutes later

About 30 minutes after Eilber’s body was found, MSP troopers were knocking on Grondin’s door, court files show. He would soon begin what became a 13-hour interrogation.

Police found the red University of Alabama T-shirt and gray sweatpants Grondin was seen wearing in a laundry bin at his home, according to court files.

Two days later, an officer opened the evidence bag with the clothing in it and found a hair with dried blood, court records show. The blood on the hair matched Eilber’s DNA.

Five hours into the interview, an attorney hired by the Grondin family began unsuccessfully trying to reach him by calling the MSP post and faxing letters to the facility, records show.

“I have been attempting to find (Grondin’s) whereabouts since such time, and I have been passed from one State Police Post to another,” attorney Armand Velardo wrote in one fax. “I have also contacted you multiple times on your office phone and cell phone, and have not received a return phone call.”

During this time, MSP Detective Mark Reaves was alone with Grondin in an unrecorded room when the suspect wrote an incriminating statement indicating Eilber had died by suicide, court files show.

“On Monday, Nov. 14, at about 8 PM I arrived at Andrea’s aunt’s house,” Grondin wrote. “All of the upstairs lights were off so I went downstairs where some lights were on. In the laundry room I found my girlfriend Andrea lying on the ground not breathing. I did not want her family to know she did this, so I moved the items she used to make it look like she did not do this to herself.”

Immediately after writing the statement, Grondin recanted, records show. He told police, according to court filings, the statements were only made because police wanted him to make them.

The trial of KC Grondin

For 12 days in October 2015, a jury in a Lapeer County courtroom heard evidence and ultimately found Grondin guilty.

Prosecutors at the trial relied heavily on Grondon’s written statement to police. Former MSP Detective Mark Pendergraff, who handled the case after Reaves’ retirement, testified it wasn’t unusual for someone to make a statement like Grondin did as a way of minimizing their actual involvement.

Pendergraff said Grondin minimized when he said the person who killed Eilber should get a second chance if it was an accident. Grondin also called the victim “this girl” instead of using her name and used suicide to minimize his involvement, court records show.

Brian Reece, another officer who testified at the trial, said he had concerns with the timeline proposed by Grondin. Grondin claimed he’d returned to the Kings Mill Road home around noon Nov. 15, 2011, to look for Eilber. But his cell phone pinged off the tower close to the home at 10 a.m.

Reaves had noted Grondin said he moved Eilber’s car, even though it wasn’t yet clear whether she was abducted while driving or her car was moved from the home.

Grondin also told police he burned his gloves and socks, investigators said. Police found a burn pile near where Eilber’s vehicle was abandoned, with the possible remnants of gloves in the debris, court records show.

Other evidence prosecutors presented when trying Grondin included there were no signs of forced entry to the home. Grondin had access to a house key, records show.

The main connection, submitted by prosecutors at trial, was the bloody hair found on Grondin’s sweatpants.

Testimony from a medical examiner suggested the bindings on Eilber’s wrists weren’t removed until six or seven hours after she was killed. This, prosecutors said, showed Grondin was the killer, as cell phone pings placed him at the home the morning after when they believe Eilber was killed.

This is when he cut the zip ties binding Eilber, they argued.

Then, prosecutors argued, Grondin took items from the home, moved Eilber’s vehicle, and destroyed evidence to make it appear as though she’d been killed in a robbery.

The man in the photo

At Grondin’s first trial, defense attorney Michael Manley argued that Eilber was killed – just not by his client.

Manley sought to admit evidence through testimony from the woman who said she and Grondin were watching TV together when Eilber’s debit card was used to withdraw money from the bank in Davison, miles away.

Cell phone pings from Grondin’s phone didn’t match the location where Eilber’s debit card was again used, this time at a Speedway gas station in Burton, according to court records. A dark-colored SUV, apparently the vehicle used by the man with the debit card, is seen outside, authorities said.

Manley argued the man in the photo killed Eilber. More than a dozen years later, so does Grondin’s current attorney.

“Oh, that’s the murderer,” Legghio said. “It’s more than crucial (to find out who that is). It’s essential. That person is a murderer, or one of two people involved in her murder.”

The Grondin family offered $5,000 for information leading to the identify of the man in the video, but the person has never been identified. Authorities haven’t yet said whether they believe it’s Mobley.

The defense also attempted to use forensic evidence to clear Grondin.

Eilber’s father had told police the driver’s side of his daughter’s vehicle leaked fluids, but no such material was found on Grondin’s shoes, per court records.

Attorneys also pointed to unidentified DNA found on the steering wheel, gear-shifter and emergency brake handle in the victim’s vehicle that records show didn’t match Grondin.

Grondin’s DNA was found near the passenger seat, but defense counsel argued he’d sit there often when Eilber drove.

Grondin’s DNA also didn’t appear under Eilber’s fingernails, but an unknown person’s did, court records show.

An unidentified person’s DNA was also removed from the back of the chair Eilber was found in, and unknown fingerprints were found on a glass in the kitchen sink at the murder scene, on the sliding glass door to the home’s basement and on the victim’s vehicle, records show.

An unknown person’s DNA also was found on a note underneath a spare key and coupon found on the kitchen counter. The note had Grondin’s name on it and his cell phone number, records show.

None of the prints matched Grondin, records show. The other DNA hasn’t yet been identified.

Also, none of the guns found at Grondin’s home could’ve fired the round that killed Eilber, according to testimony from a forensic firearm expert.

The hair with dried blood on it was the result of poor police evidence preservation, defense attorneys argued.

One officer was in the laundry room with Eilber’s body on the night of the crime and then went to Grondin’s home to execute a search warrant, according to defense attorneys. While there, the defense attorneys said, the officer placed the clothing in an evidence bag but did not seal it, thus likely transferring the hair to the clothing.

Blood was never found on Grondin’s clothing, his attorneys said.

Delayed justice

The jury deliberated two days before finding Grondin guilty of first-degree felony murder. He would eventually be sentenced to life in prison.

“I am pleased to see justice served for Andrea and her family,” former Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said at the time. “Four years may go by fast for some of us, but for her family, I can only imagine how hard it has been.”

Several motions were filed on Grondin’s behalf after his conviction. One claimed he was entitled to a new trial due to prosecutorial misconduct, improper statements by police witnesses and ineffective assistance of counsel.

Grondin was later granted a new trial, however, because the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled the verdict form was incorrect and may have confused the jury. The verdict sheet used by the jury that convicted Grondin did not include the option of “not guilty” for one of the charges.

Grondin was released from the Michigan Department of Corrections in 2018 and placed on house arrest.

Chadwick Shane Mobley

Mobley, who became a suspect in January due to the DNA evidence from the Texas lab, was arraigned in July on two murder charges.

When Mobley was pulled over in Utah so police could obtain DNA samples from him through a search warrant, he had a .38-caliber firearm, according to an affidavit. The firearm matched what was used to kill Eilber, investigators later said.

Mobley was arrested in Montana in June. After waiving extradition, he escaped from the private transport company contracted to return him to Michigan.

A 24-hour manhunt led to Mobley once again being apprehended when he was found in a stolen canoe, drifting in a river about 12 miles from where he escaped, according to Montana media outlets.

Authorities say they’re still working to determine how he and Grondin are connected to Eilber’s murder, but Mobley’s involvement has shed a different light on the man authorities believed killed her.

On July 24, a judge granted a motion allowing Grondin to leave home without supervision for the first time in five years to visit five Michigan counties.

For Grondin and his attorneys, it’s one step toward justice.

“I look forward to KC Grondin’s exoneration of this wrongful charge,” Legghio said.

Ukraine again reported bringing war deep into Russia with attacks on Moscow and border region

Ukraine brought the war far from the front line into the heart of Russia again Sunday in drone penetrations that Russian authorities said damaged two office buildings a few miles (kilometers) from the Kremlin and a pig breeding complex on the countries’ border.

The attacks, which Ukraine didn’t acknowledge in keeping with its security policy, reflected a pattern of more frequent and deeper cross-border strikes the Kyiv government has launched since starting a counteroffensive against Russian forces in June. A precursor and the most dramatic of the strikes happenned in May on the Kremlin itself, the seat of power in the capital, Moscow.

Sunday’s was the fourth such strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, showing Moscow’s vulnerability as Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.

The Russian Defense Ministry said three drones targeted the city in an “attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime.” Air defenses shot down one drone in Odintsovo in the surrounding Moscow region, while two others were jammed and crashed into the Moscow City business district.

Photos and video showed that a drone had ripped off part of the facade of a modern skyscraper, IQ-Quarter, located 7.2 kms (4.5 miles) from the Kremlin. When the drone hit, sparks, flames and smoke spewed from the building, with debris falling on the sidewalk and street. Windows were blown out, and metal window frames were mangled. A security guard was injured, Russia’s state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials. Russia’s Ria-Novosti news agency reported the building’s tenants included several government agencies.

Flights were temporarily suspended at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport, and the airspace over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed.

President Vladimir Putin, who was in his hometown of St. Petersburg at the time of the attempted attacks for meetings with African leaders and a naval celebration, was briefed, his spokesman said.

Ukrainian officials didn’t acknowledge the attacks but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address: “Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia — to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process.”

A Ukrainian air force spokesman also didn’t claim responsibility but said the Russian people were seeing the consequences of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“All of the people who think the war ‘doesn’t concern them’ — it’s already touching them,” spokesperson Yurii Ihnat told journalists Sunday.

“There’s already a certain mood in Russia: that something is flying in, and loudly,” he said. “There’s no discussion of peace or calm in the Russian interior any more. They got what they wanted.”

Ihnat also referenced an early Sunday drone attack on Crimea, Ukrainian territory which Russia occupied and illegally annexed in 2014. The Russian Defense Ministry announced it had shot down 16 Ukrainian drones and neutralized eight others through electronic jamming. No casualties were reported.

Zelenskyy has vowed to take back all land Russian forces have occupied, including Crimea, and his efforts have been strengthened by the receipt and deployment of increasingly advanced Western weapons.

In the earlier attacks on Moscow, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside the city on Friday. Four days earlier, two drones struck the Russian capital , one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry’s headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.

In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said air defenses downed four drones on Moscow’s outskirts and jammed a fifth that was forced down.

Russia has also blamed Ukrainian forces for attacking border areas, and on Sunday, the governor of one such region, Bryansk, said a Ukrainian strike damaged a pig breeding complex and injured three people.

In Ukraine, the air force reported Sunday it had destroyed four Russian drones above the Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Information on the attacks could not be independently verified.

Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike late Saturday killed two people and wounded 20 in the city of Sumy in northeast Ukraine. A four-story vocational college building was hit, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said. Local authorities said that dormitories and teaching buildings were damaged in the blast and a fire that followed.

While the attacks continued on the war front, so did the war of words. Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, issued his latest nuclear war threat in a Telegram post Sunday. In it, he claimed Russian forces were preventing a nuclear war. He contended that if Ukraine, with NATO countries’ support, succeeded in its counteroffensive, including if “they seized part of our land,” then Russia would “go for the use of nuclear weapons.” Western leaders have repeatedly warned of the dangers of making such statements.
