Australian Winter Olympian David Morris rewrote winter sport record books today when he became the first Australian to win a men's World Cup aerial skiing event and in doing so ended the season as the
...
highest ranked Aussie male in the discipline's history.
Competing in the last World Cup event of the year in the Ukrainian resort of Bukovel, Morris captured his debut victory after an 11th hour decision to compete in the event.
It was not until last Monday that the Australian aerial squad made a last minute call to enter the Australian Institute of Sport / Victorian Institute of Sport athlete in the Bokovel event, to chase a season ending ranking within the top three.
However, the decision to go to Bukovel delivered an even better result, with Morris finishing the year as the number two ranked aerial skier in the world.
