Dual Olympian Sami Kennedy-Sim has finished her 2018/2019 FIS Ski Cross World Cup season with two quarter-final appearances in Sunny Valley, Russia.

With back to back races over the weekend, the NSWIS skier finished 16th in her first race on Saturday. She then went on to improve her position by two places on Sunday with a 14th place.

After the races Kennedy-Sim said on Instagram she was looking forward to regrouping for the next season back in Australia.

“Not my best racing in Sunny Valley this weekend, actually not my best season.

“Looking forward to some sun at home and making a solid plan to have a chance at the crown again next year,” she said.

After the Sunny Valley event, Kennedy-Sim is in 15th place on World Cup standings, but will not be contesting the final event of the season in Veysonnaz, Switzerland, on March 17.

NSWIS Ski Cross athlete Sami Kennedy-Sim has had a strong weekend of competition in Feldberg, Germany, with two top 10 performances, including a season's best fifth place.

Kennedy-Sim made a positive start to the event, performing well in qualifying to advance though to finals for both days in seventh place.

On day one of competition, Kennedy-Sim won her quarter-final round, but unfortunatley placed fourth in the semi-final to miss out on advancing to the final medal round. In the small-final, Kennedy-Sim won her second heat of the day, to finish in fifth place overall, her best result of the season.

On day two, Kennedy-Sim narrowly missed out on advancing to the semi-final stage, finishing third in the quarter-final, giving her an overall placing of tenth.

After the race, a happy Kennedy-Sim commented on her performance.

"The racing at Feldberg was some of the tightest racing I have ever seen. Almost every heat had a photo finish."

"I am so happy with both my fifth and tenth place performances this weekend. I was skiing very fast all week and look forward to continuing racing next week in Sunny Valley, Russia."

After Feldberg, Kennedy-Sim is currently ranked 14th on the World Cup standings with three events remaining.

A number of SSA athletes were also in action in Feldberg, with Robbie Morrison making his World Cup debut in 52nd, Doug Crawford 54th and Lilly Speiser 26th.

NSWIS skier Sami Kennedy-Sim has just missed out on advancing through to the quarter-final stage, finishing third in her eight-final heat at the Ski Cross World Championships at Solitude Mountain, UT, USA. 

After qualifying for finals in 14th place, Kennedy-Sim was unable to advance in the top two in her heat, giving her a final ranking of 18th.

Kennedy-Sim commented after the race.

“Not the result I was looking for at World Champs, but I am still smiling. A few days with some of my Ski Cross girls in Salt Lake City before we race in Feldberg, Germany."

The World Cup events in Feldberg will take place on February 15-17.
