Paul Murray's excellent form has continued with a semi-final performance in the Swedish Sprint Championship on January 3. Paul qualified sixth in the classic time trial, ahead of the reigning World Champion Tobias Fredriksson and World Cup winner Mikael Ostberg.
Cruising through the quarter-final, Paul got a taste of what its like to rub shoulders with Fredriksson in the semi-final and came off second best. He ended up third, satisfied to be in the hunt against some of the best sprinters in the world but now hungry to make an A-final.
In the B-Final Paul led along with club team-mate Ostberg for most of the race until the final corner then was boxed in and finished fourth to be eighth overall. (Story with the assistance of The XC Files)
