Kennedy-Sim starts the year with a top-10

The first Ski Cross World Cup event of 2020 has taken place in Nakiska, Canada, with NSWIS athlete Sami Kennedy-Sim starting the year with a top ten performance.

Kennedy-Sim qualified for finals in 12th place, in a time of 1:16.29, 3.76 seconds behind first place qualifier Fanny Smith of Switzerland.

In finals, Kennedy-Sim placed third in her first-round heat, behind eventual winner Marielle Thompson of Canada, and was unable to progress to her next round.

This gave Kennedy-Sim a final ranking of tenth, and a World Cup season ranking of 12th after seven events so far this season.

The next event of the Ski Cross World Cup tour will take place in Idre Fjäll, with two events scheduled to take place at the Swedish resort, with the first day of competition on January 25 and second day on 26.
