Team Sprint Day - Aussies Hang Tough

Aussie skiers Ben Sim, and Paul Murray matched up yesterday to compete in the 1.6 km Team Sprint. Each athlete completes the course 3x tagging each other after each lap. The goal heading into the race was to hang in with the World's best for as long as they could and hang tough they did. Losing contact with the lead pack towards the end of the second leg, heading into the final lap for each.

* New Wally film to debut Wed. 24. Stay tuned!
