My first Ski Cross World Championships in Voss, Norway are over. We had great weather, great snow and it was cool to have the other freestyle ski disciplines around. I finished in 38th position, narrowly missed out on making the finals only 0.4sec shy! I desperately wanted more. The technique required for ski cross is getting better and better and I am really starting to bring through the skills required to be fast in this sport.
My qualification run had some small errors that I need to iron out, especially when the pressure comes on to lay down the run, only one chance, one opportunity.
It was great to have 2 training sessions on the track which has been non existent for us this season. The Audi World Cup Ski Cross tour has been unlucky with weather this season and several races we have had to settle for just 1 training run! (not making it easy for the rookie on the tour!)
I am now up in Åre, Sweden for my last two World Cup races of the season. I am really excited to give it everything, execute my new skills and to put some fast runs down and get in the mix of the finals. Stay posted for results!
Enjoy the photos below, and have a look at the video of my perspective down the course! (training, following the Germans)
