Callum Watson 88th in Scando Cup, 10% behind winner Matti Heikkinen of Finland

Here’s one of several new reports on our AUS XC brothers and sisters, which may be found at http://ausxc.com/.

Callum Watson’s 88^th in the 30km skiathlon Scandinavian Cup in Falun, Sweden is worth reporting on for several reasons:

Callum is one of Australia’s top World Cup skiers and people are interested in what he is doing.
Callum chest injury from August has led him being unable to start or finish any classic races this season up until this result.
On the World Championships course in Falun, Callum was able to finish 10% behind a former World Champion and someone who will be near the top of the field come the main event in February.

In a field of 133 Callum finished 88^th, 7:50 behind the winner Matti Heikkinen who finished the 30km in 1:16:51.9.
