Kennedy-Sim suffers semis heartbreak over botched start

Kennedy-Sim suffers semis heartbreak over botched start

Sami Kennedy-Sim has missed out on a medal in the women's ski cross after the Australian skier was undone by a poor start in the semi-final.

Kennedy-Sim had been one of the form riders through the qualifiers but hardly had a chance to compete for a spot in the big final.

The 29-year-old's race came unstuck on the first jump as she quickly fell more than three seconds behind the leaders.

She finished third of four after Swedish competitor Lisa Andersson crashed out halfway through the race.

Kennedy-Sim will compete in the small final to decide fifth through eighth.
