Junko and Karin: Battle at the "sausage" (PWA/Carter)

The lineup of the round 5 womens final had all the usual suspects in it; Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North), Junko Nagoshi (J-11), Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North), Frida Wiraeus (S-93), Femke van der Valk (NB-05, F2), Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2), Uli Hoelzl (AUT-123, F2/ Neil Pryde), Nayra Alonso (E-4, Fanatic/ Severne), Astrid Muldoon (F-2, JP/ Neil Pryde) and Silvia Alba (E-67, Tabou/ Gaastra).

At the first jump Alonso hit the wall and went down. Daida Moreno got it right and took the lead before Jaggi, Nagoshi, van der Valk and Hoelzl. The forward section did not disturb the top 4, but Alba snatched fifth place from Hoelzl. At the third mark, Jaggi went down and Nagoshi moved into second place, followed closely by van der Valk and Alba. Jaggi wouldnt let go that easily though and by the fourth buoy, she was back in third place again. Daida was still comfortably in the top slot with Nagoshi behind her on her way to the overall Super X title. Daida Moreno crossed the line in first position taking her first Super X final.

Nagoshi lined up for the jump and went for it, but it wasnt to be for the Japanese as she didnt clear the marker and went down only metres away from the finish line. Jaggi seized the moment and passed the jump and Nagoshi, taking second place and shattering Nagoshis hopes for the title. Silvia Alba managed to squeeze in front of Nagoshi, who recovered to take fourth place, before Astrid Muldoon who took fifth. And so it was Karin Jaggi taking the first ever PWA Super X title, by taking the Lanzarote Super X title and thus the 2005 overall.
