Gosford mogul skier, Matt Graham, has recorded a career best at the world cup and olympic test event in Russia overnight.
The 18 year old finished seventh place – lifting his ranking by nine spots to 15th in the world.
Graham got to compete on the same course that will be used less than 12 months for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic games.

Thanks NBN, for running this story/video about Matt in Sochi.
Please note that Matt will be representing AUS at the FIS Freestyle World Championships in Voss, Norway on 6th and 8th of March; let’s hope he can go 1 better in the 1st final and qualify in the top 6 for the 2nd final. If he can he will have a shot at a medal.
I’m sure you are aware that Matt is a real tallent and with the Winter Olympic Games less than 12 months away his profile will/should build during the build up to the games.
The Olympic Winter Institute (OWI) has decided not to contest the remaining 5 rounds of the World Cup series which will give Matt time to recover before he starts his Olympic build up/campaign in mid to late April.
Matt is schedulled to arrive back in Australia on the 11th March and is available for interviews etc from that date.
Yours truely, Steve Graham.
PS. Love the video, why/when/how can we see of this incrediable stuff on prime time TV.
