		Pozo Worldcup Action As usual, Pozo provided perfect conditions for all the events and even the racing in Playa del Ingles could take place due to uncommonly strong easterly winds one the first day of Formula racing. If there was a Overall ranking, Karin Jaggi would be number one: Being second in freestyle, third in waves, and third in racing, she is the most complete sailor in the world. In Freestyle the result is a well known one - Daida Ruano, Karin Jaggi, Iballa Ruano. Surprisingly high was the level of Nayra Alonso and Silvia Alba from Spain, Steffi Wahl from Germany, and Ania Ostrowska from Poland. Still struggling with the hardcore conditions of Pozo but clearly a fresh talent: Femke van der Valk fom Bonaire. Pozo was the las Freestlye in 2004, with Bonaire postponed to May 2005, so the Freestyle Queen is Daida once again! In Wave Iballa could show her incredible talent despite her 6 weeks absence from the water after hurting her foot badly in a double forward in 50 knots of wind on Lanzarote. Her twin Daida, though, was a little bit safer in her routine. Karin Jaggi with her superstylish Shove-its got third. Unluckily the wave comp could not be finished due to lack of waves. The fifth place is therefore split between Annemarie Reichmann, Silvia Alba, Claudia Vogt and Steffi Wahl. The Formula racing was won by a fresh face from Down Under: Allison Shreeve, 23, coming from Sydney, assists Steve Allen, also Australian, in leading the Race fleet. She has only competed in the Formula discipline a couple of times before and is definetley a rising star. Allison has only recently signed up with F2. Second is Lucy Horwood. All time winner Dorota Staszewska on Starboard became fourth and was clearly disappointed, but the chance to get back onto the podium is not too far. Lake Balaton in Hungary will be the next stop for the Formula sailors in a few days time! posted by Anonymous at 8/25/2004 01:16:00 PM
