Freestyle skier Matt Graham's courageous quest to win another world championship moguls medal has fallen short in Switzerland, as the evergreen Australian star had to settle for fifth place.
Hardly in his finest shape after a crash in Livigno, Italy, a week-and-a-half ago resulted in the 30-year-old suffering bruised lungs, four-time medallist Graham showed real heart in his determination to compete in the St Moritz showpiece.
But after a superb effort in Tuesday's qualifying and Wednesday's final, Gosford's Graham, who had been left vomiting blood in his painful build-up to St Moritz following the crash, could only finish fifth as Japan's Ikuma Horishima was crowned the new king of the moguls.
