Sami-Kennedy Sim, Robbie Morrison, Anton Grimus, Doug Crawford and Lee Rolls represented Australia at the Austrian National Championships and Europa Cup in Pitzal.
Due to poor weather and high wind, the event format for the National Championships was adjusted so that a sprint race would be run in the valley.
The field was very strong with many international World Cup athletes using the race as a warm-up to the season proper.
Morrison and Kennedy-Sim were among the standout performers, with Morrison taking home a silver medal and Kennedy-Sim finishing in fifth place.
Grimus finished 28th, Crawford 42nd and Rolls narrowly avoided a crash to finish in 83rd position.
In the Europa Cup event Kennedy-Sim backed up her previous solid performance by taking out fifth place, while Morrison had another outstanding result claiming 12th position, with Grimus 29th, Crawford in 45th and Rolls 63rd.
