Two time Olympian Sami Kennedy-Sim has recorded her best result of the season, with a sixth place finish at a night World Cup in Arosa, Switzerland.
Kennedy-Sim advanced through two heats of racing to reach the semi final round for the first time this season.
In the semi-final, Kennedy-Sim was unable to each the big final after placing fourth, and in the consolation small final, she finished in second, to give the final ranking of sixth.
‘I am so happy to have achieved a sixth place today, Kennedy-Sim said, “I was one of the fastest girls in training over the past days and that confidence propelled me into today.
“I am looking forward to heading to Italy tomorrow for the final stop of the Cross Alps Tour.”
OWIA Ski Cross Head Coach was happy with the performance of the NSWIS athlete after the race.
“Arosa was a good race, the weather held off and we had good conditions.”
“Sami has been training really fast and was confident.”
She had a bit of trouble in the semi-final, getting held out of the first turn into the jump and had to give a little which cost her. “
“Sami came back really strong in the small final and had a clean run top to bottom.”
Also in action for Australia competing in the men’s event was Anton Grimus in 46th, and Doug Crawford in 54th.
The Australian Ski Cross team now heads to Innichen, Italy, for the final stop of the action packed Cross Alps Tour, which sees six competitions at four venues over the course of 17 days.
The first event will take place on December 21, with the second and final event of 2019 on December 22.
