Australian Winter in Full Swing

Winter is in full-swing in Australia at the moment. At the cross country
skiing National Team Training Centre at Falls Creek there is nearly one
metre of snow covering everything, and 40-50km of trails being groomed every
day. Club competitions were held on the first three weekends of July, and
the first Australian Championship events took place last weekend July 26/27.
22-year-old Ben Sim won the men's 30km Classic by only seven seconds ahead
of his New South Wales Institute of Sport team-mate Chris Darlington, while
Aimee Watson won the women's 15km Classic the day before her 21st birthday.
