Graham adds China moguls bronze to silver

Dec 22, 2017 - 10:09 AM Matt Graham has made his Mogul Skiing World Cup career medal haul an even dozen, taking bronze in Thaiwoo, China just 24 hours after winning a silver medal on the same course.

The Australian finished fourth in the 64-man qualification round with 78.88 points, then upped the ante in the first final with 80.92 points, placing fifth and making it into the final six.

Again, Graham found more in the medal round - scoring 82.96 in a burning run, which landed him on the podium for the second time in two days.

The Winter Olympics medal fancy in Pyeongchang was delighted with his second podium.

"I think today went really well actually," Graham said after the medal presentations.

"I felt a little better this morning; had a good sleep last night. Kind of came out firing in the qualification run and put down a run that I was really happy with.

"Pretty solid run in the final one round - slightly drifted my jumps, though, which cost me a little bit so I was going into the Super Final in fifth place and I really had to put it all on the line and not make any mistakes."

"To come away with back-to-back podiums here in Thaiwoo is pretty awesome and I'm just really happy with the way I bounced back after the first event in Ruka."

"The stats are nice but at the end of the day we've got bigger things coming up - so we've just got to focus on each day and trying to get better."

World champion and Crystal Globe winner Britt Cox rebounded from Thursday's place and disappointment by progressing to the Super Final and finishing fourth.

"I'm really happy to turn things around after some mistakes yesterday and get back up there and be able to ski in the Super Final again," an upbeat Cox said.

"I definitely feel like there's some work to do but happy with the result today."

The Australian mogul skiers will head to north America for Christmas, but will continue to train.
