3rd in Voss
Ξ February 20th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
Surprise! Yesterday the race could take place in Voss. The conditions really, really difficult (very bumpy, big holes in the course AND bad visibility) so in fact I’m happy that I ended the race in one piece.
The final run was chaotic! I had a good start and was fighting for the 1st position when I suddenly hit a hole and crashed. Nothing happened to me and i could finish the run with some delay. Ashleigh McIvor who was leading at this time lost her ski in one of the bumps and crashed as well so I managed pass her on the way down and end in 3rd position. Ophelie David was the really lucky winner in the end. Crazy day!
Great day for the austrian skicross team 2nd and 3rd place on both women’s and men’s side!
