 Catalunya Costa Brava PWA Slalom:21 girls battle it out ! Although the Rosas event has taken place for many years, the women are competing at this 10th event for the very first time here. And they are here with many: 21!!! (among them 9 women from France alone, see photo below!). At camping La Ballena they are staying this week to compete against each other. Womens Race One In the womens fleet, Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou, The Loft) produced a stellar performance to win both the semi final and the final. Joining her was the ever-consistent Karin Jaggi (F2, North Sails) who took second place, and Japans Ayako Suzuki (Starboard, Gaastra) in third. Womens Race Two In the second of the womens eliminations, Karin Jaggi fought hard against her rivals, piecing together an outstanding race that only years of competition experience could have summoned. In her wake, Iballa Moreno (North Sails) took second place, in front of ex RSX racer, Lee Korzitz.  Womens Race Three Finishing up the days action was the third women’s elimination. Age old rivals, Jaggi and Ghibaudo (Tabou, The Loft) showed their mettle, both winning their respective heats, and paving the way for an exciting final showdown. However, the final was to take an unpredicted turn, when Jaggi and Ghibaudo both went over the start line early, opening the door for Iballa Moreno to steal her first victory of the contest, with Lee Korzitz coming in second, and Frances Alice Arutkin in third.With the current standings after three eliminations, Karin Jaggi leads the pack, edging ahead of Iballa Moreno and Lee Korzitz. Antoine Albeau leads the mens fleet, followed by Finian Maynard and Micah Buzianis. Current standings here! posted by editors at 6/14/2008 12:04:00 PM |
