Another chilly beginning to the day marked the course inspection of the U10/U12 GS course on Stella Alpine course. The course opened at 8.30 to allow racers and their coaches to inspect the relatively flat but steep and icy course.All racers had 3 attempts to set a time with the best of the 3 being their official time.
Mums and dads looked on with eager anticipation as their little ones came down the formidable course.
On returning their race bibs all of the racers received a goody bag containing various ski gadgets, waxes, scrapers and stickers kindly donated by Ski Racing Supplies, Ski Bartlett and others who have been very generous in supporting the championships.
Congratulations to Olivia Mitchell (U12) & Isla Ward (U10) for the girls and to Jake Doyle (u12) and Scott Johns (u10) for the boys, well done to all who skied.
Meanwhile on yesterday’s Super G course, the GS took place. This was again an FIS NJR competition and so was attended by all and sundry from around the skiing world. The results have yet to be published on the FIS website so we couldn’t tell you how well our lads and lasses did today.
However we do know that there are a few Dragons enjoying themselves here in Bormio. We caught up with some of the juniors while they were tucking into pizzas and burgers at Bormio 2000.
Dragons from left to right are Georgia Hallmett, Jemma Dammatt, Lucy Deller, Tom Henderson, Olly Farr, Sophie Ogden, Nia Jenkins and Alice Macaulay (from Sandown Park ski racing club).
Alice was 10th and Nia was 23rd in yesterday’s FIS slalom. They are currently staying at the Hotel Capitani with their coaches Carl Ryding and Robin Kellen and are all having a marvellous time!
Good luck to them for the rest of the week.
Weather tomorrow is for about 30mm of snow from late Wednesday night to Friday morning, so take your high definition lenses up with you!
<<< Interesting fact of the day is that The Olympic skiing brothers Erminio Giacinto and Stefano Sertorelli were born in Bormio >>
