English term or phrase: building on
Plaxton was beaming after his career first World Cup top five. Achieving that in his home nation made it all the more memorable and came in the same week he won the Canadian national championships and was named to the Canadian Olympic team. His time put him 2:39 behind winner Nino Schurter in Mont-Sainte-Anne.

"I felt great after winning nationals last weekend and building on my ninth in La Bresse," said Plaxton. "It's a huge confidence builder. It's special to take my first World Cup podium in Canada."
