NZPA staff corres. Sydney
The New Zealand Olympic skier, Stuart Blakely, of Methven, finished ninth in the giant slalom at the Australian ski-ing championships at Thredbo, N.S.W. Skiers from Australia, the United States, France, the Netherlands and Japan are competing, but Blakely is the only New Zealander engaged. He failed to finish the slalom event.
The final event, the highspeed downhill, will be held later in the week. Blakely has skied strongly in training to have the fourth fastest practice time.
The slalom and giant slalom were won by Patrice Ciprelli, of France.
