Moguls skier Matt Graham made his first start of the winter sport seaon in Finland over the weekend at the opening event of the moguls World Cup.

Competing in a dual moguls format, Graham was eliminated by rising star and world junior championships silver medallist Thomas Rowley, eventually finishing 22nd overall in his season opener.

Graham will next compete at the World Cup in Calgary, Canada along with fellow NSWIS athlete Britt Cox, with both athletes eyeing off the 2015 Freestyle Skiing World Championships in mid-January.
