Freestyle skier Matt Graham has become Australia's most successful world championship winter sports athlete by winning a record-breaking fifth medal in the dual moguls, but he had to do it the painful way in St Moritz.
The battle-hardened 30-year-old from Gosford, who suffered a dreadful crash less than two weeks ago in Italy that sent him to hospital, again took another spectacular tumble during Friday's accident-strewn showpiece event at the Swiss resort.
Competing in his semi-final against the eventual champion, Canadian great Mikael Kingsbury, Graham was giving it his all as ever when he lost a ski at high speed and ended up cartwheeling down the course.
