In a series of performances that did not quite live up to expectations, Ben Sim has produced the best result at the World Junior/Under 23 Cross Country Championships. Sim finished in 37th place in the U23 15km freestyle, 3 minutes and 39 seconds behind race winner Dario Cologna of Switzerland. The Cooma 21-year-old was 25 seconds outside the top 30, one of the goals going into the race.
