Aussie medal party continues with dual moguls bronze
Australian skier Matt Graham bounced back from individual disappointment to add another medal to the one he collected eight years ago in Pyeongchang and continue the Aussie success story at Milan-Cortina, AAP reports.
He became the country’s third moguls medallist at the Games on Sunday. It was Australia’s record-extending fifth medal of the Olympics and was hard-won given Graham’s multiple injuries that have included a fractured neck, collarbone, broken ribs and lung contusions.
Graham clawed his way on to the podium with a win over Japan’s Takuya Shimakawa in the small final, which decided the bronze medal. The Australian outscored his rival 20 to 15. The Canadian all-time great Mikael Kingsbury won the gold medal after taking silver in the individual.

The hearing will take place in Melbourne, with the court noting the ACCC is seeking “a significant penalty” for the alleged breaches of consumer law.
Australia is up to five medals at the Winter Olympics in Milan after skier Matt Graham took home bronze in the new dual moguls events. “This means a lot, the other day was a bit bittersweet, coming fifth when I knew I had enough to get on the podium so today was a bit about redemption, I was fired up,” he told reporters after the achievement.
