The final selection race for a place on the Australian Team for the 2009 World Championships has been completed and all 3 members of Team Guinea will be competing in La Seu d’Urgell!
On day 1 of selection Chris and Scott managed to make the required 126% in their 2nd run meaning they only had to make it again on one of their 2 runs on day 2.
The course for day 2 was much more difficult, however the boys had an exception run… until the very bottom and finished with 126.00036%. Unfortunately selection policy states that you need to be under 126% however the result was appealed and selection onto the team was confirmed.
However, that’s were the boys luck ended as the roof racks were ripped off their car while passing a truck on the drive back to Melbourne. This caused some minor damage to their boat, which will have to be repaired in record speed (for them) before their flight on Saturday.
Other results from the selection race include Sam Lyons being selected for Mens K1 and Jess Fox selected to field a full team for the C1W class.
Next stop for the Team Guinea boys is Liepzig where they will meet up with Leanne and start their under 22’s tour of the World Series events.
