Sami Kennedy-Sim has had a strong weekend in the ski cross World Cup events in Idre Fjäll, with two semi-final top eight performances.

The track in Idre Fjäll has plenty of great memories for the NSWIS skier, having made the podium on the course in 2017 and reaching the semi final stage in 2019.

Two World Cup events were ran, with Kennedy-Sim placing seventh on day one of competition, and sixth on day two, her equal best performance of the season.

Kennedy-Sim was one of the fastest female’s on the bottom section of course in finals racing, hitting the finish line with impressive speed.

“Had some great speed this weekend in Idre but couldn't get it together in the semi finals to race for the podium, so raced into sixth and seventh in small finals,” Kennedy-Sim commented after the event.

“Onwards and Upwards!”

After nine events, Kenendy-Sim is currently ranked 11th on the World Cup standings.

The next event on the Ski Cross World Cup tour will take place in Megeve, France, with qualifying set for January 31 and finals on February 1.
