Paul Murray made an impressive return to international competition at the 2007 Nordic World Ski Championships last week, finishing in 38th place in the sprint. With his back injury now behind him, however, he was disappointed not to qualify for the top 30 and a place in the finals. Team-mate Ben Sim also had a pretty good race, losing a little time on the flatter sections of the course but still finishing 51st (out of 83 starters).
