Same Procedure as every year :-) The short British cabaret sketch from the 1920s, "Dinner for One" says it all: "Same procedure as every year." Means Daida, Iballa and Karin on top, with Daida taking the wave world championship after getting no official result at the Nivea World Cup in Sylt.   World champion Daida Ruano Moreno rotates, windgirls fleet poses (all photos: PWA/Carter) Day 5: Before the sun was properly up this morning, the first PWA riders were out on the water, preparing for the 2005 Sylt wave performance. Germanys Steffi Wahl (G-303, F2) was the first one out at 07:00, while the morning light was not even bright enough for the early risers on the beach to distinguish her sail brand. The high paced action continued up until 09:30 when the wind suddenly dropped, putting the contest on hold to be picked up again shortly after. After the second mens round was completed, the competition area was moved further up the beach as the waves seemed to be better there. First up to try the new contest arena were the womens wave sailors. Without any unexpected events, the top women secured their spot in the quarters which will feature Annemarie Reichman (H-98, Naish/ Naish) vs. Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2), Uli Hoelzl (AUT-123, F2/ Neil Pryde) vs. Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails), Junko Nagoshi (J-11) vs. Nayra Alonso (E-4, Fanatic/ Severne) and Silvia Alba (E-67, Tabou/ Gaastra) against Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North Sails). The women were released for the day after that and it was back to the men for the battle of the final sixteen.    North Sea Rippers: Karin Jaggi, Nayra Alonso, Iballa Ruano Moreno Day 7 At 09:15 it was decided to go for it in sketchy and small conditions with the womens quarterfinals featuring Annemarie Reichman (H-98, Naish/ Naish) vs. Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2) and Uli Hoelzl (AUT-123, F2/ Neil Pryde) vs. Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails). While the judges were debating on the suitability of the conditions, the four girls from the 1st quarter completed their heat, but during the second quarter final - Junko Nagoshi (J-11) vs. Nayra Alonso (E-4, Fanatic/ Severne) and Silvia Alba (E-67, Tabou/ Gaastra) vs. Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North Sails) - it became evident that the wave situation simply did not meet the required standards. Therefore, the heat was cancelled and the first quarter was discarded as well. Half an hour later, another attempt to run the womens quarters was made, but that too was cancelled as the wind shut down and the waves were still no good.   Anne Marie Reichman, party girls (Iballa, Frida, Anne Marie, Nayra) Day 9 - Daida goes away with sixth world wave title Sylt crowds hail the 2005 PWA World Champions on the closing day of the Nivea World Cup Sylt 2005, as the season comes to an end. The Nivea World Cup Sylt had to make do with a windless closing weekend, meaning the results as they were after Fridays competition are the final results of the event. This unfortunately means the wave contest could not be completed, leaving the women without an official result and eight men in joined first place at the Nivea World Cup Sylt. With no counting result on waves here in Sylt, Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North Sails) lands her sixth world wave title. “I have been coming here since 97 and it is almost always been windy here, so it is a shame we did not get to finish the wave performance this year", as Moreno comments on her title. "I will try to keep winning of course in the years to come, but the level of the other girls is rising really fast now, so it will become more difficult every year. For me, my goal is to keep improving myself and helping the other girls in the process." This outcome also spells happy days for Kauli Seadi (BRA-253, Quatro/ Naish) as he goes home with the 2005 overall wave crown. In the Slalom 42 event it was a close battle, but in the end Bjorn Dunkerbeck (E-11, North Sails) has managed to stay ahead of Micah Buzianis (USA-34, F2/ North Sails) and Antoine Albeau (F-192, Neil Pryde). This means an unprecedented situation occurs, as Bjorn Dunkerbeck (E-11, North Sails) and Micah Buzianis (USA-34, F2/ North Sails) share their first place in the final overall world rankings.While this victory means an amazing 34th world title for Dunkerbeck, it is his first on in Slalom 42 as it is a brand new discipline. posted by editors at 10/07/2005 11:17:00 PM |
