Australia's Matt Graham has collected a bronze medal in the men's dual moguls at the FIS Freestyle and Snowboard World Championships in St Moritz, Switzerland.
The result gave Graham his fifth World Championships medal, the most won by any Australian winter sports athlete.
Graham lost to gold medallist Mikael Kingsbury of Canada in an eventful semifinal, with the Australian losing a ski at high speed before cartwheeling down the course.
Contesting the small final, Graham completed a solo run to be awarded the bronze medal after Swedish opponent Filip Gravenfors pushed out of the start gate but was unable to continue due to injury.
Gravenfors had been injured during a crash in his semifinal against Japanese silver medallist Ikuma Horishima.
"It was probably one of the hardest-earned podiums of my career" Graham said.
"The course was challenging. It was icy at the start of the day and consequently the top air landing and first five turns got trashed.
"On paper, the course wasn't that tricky but there were a few little technical elements to it."
Graham's compatriot Cooper Woods claimed eighth place, while fellow Australians Jackson Harvey (18th) and George Murphy (23rd) finished further down the standings.
Charlotte Wilson was the best-placed Australian in the women's dual moguls final, placing 15th behind US gold medallist Jaelin Kauf.
