Sami Kennedy-Sim had a great start to the 2020/21 World Cup tour, the Australian ski cross athlete qualifying with the fastest time for the first event of the year on December 15 in Arosa, Switzerland before finishing third in the final. It was Sami’s first podium since 2017 and she backed it up the next day with a sixth in the second event of the season.
For the two-time Olympian it was a welcome return to top form and Sami was feeling good in the lead-up to the next World Cup in Val Thorens, France. Then a crash in training turned Sami’s season on its head, a badly dislocated elbow putting her out for the season and on a plane back to Australia and into hotel quarantine in Sydney.

Merry Christmas and if you are lucky enough to be somewhere snowy in the Northern Hemisphere, we hope you’re getting in a few Chrissy day turns. Not long to go before we say goodbye (or good riddance) to 2020 and it looks like there will be plenty of powder to wrap up the year with snow on the way in Japan, Europe, Canada and the US.
