MOGULS: Australia’s male mogul skiers had their first qualification runs at Phoenix Park on Friday afternoon, with Sochi Olympian Matt Graham progressing through to Final 1.

The two-time Olympian, who finished in 9th place with a score of 77.28, said that “anything can happen in the final”.

“I came off a pretty good training day yesterday, I was quite happy with how I was skiing and I just came out and wanted to replicate what I was doing,” he said.

“I definitely feel a lot more confident this time around than four years ago, I’m older and wiser and know the competition a lot more now.”

Placing in the top ten, Graham was the only one of the Australian contingent to qualify for Final 1 on Friday.

Australia’s three other male mogul skiers will now need to place in the top ten of qualification 2, which will feature the 20 skiers that have not already progressed, to join Graham in Final 1.
