Snow Australia athletes Doug Crawford and Robbie Morrison have made their ski cross World Championship debuts in Idre Fjäll, Sweden.
Both men missed out on advancing to the 32 man final, with Crawford very close in 34th place, just 0.58 seconds behind the 32nd ranked skier. Morrison was not far behind Crawford in 39th place.
Taking the win in the men's event was Alex Fiva of Switzerland with Swedish skier Sandra Naeslund victorious in the women's event.
Two time Olympian Sami-Kennedy-Sim was unfortunately unable to compete after suffering a season ending elbow injury earlier in the season in Val Thorens, France, just after winning the second World Cup medal of her career at the prior competition in Arosa, Switzerland.
Crawford and Morrison will be back in action this weekend competing in the World Cup event in Reiteralm, Austria, with qualifying on February 17 and finals on February 19.
