Winning Ugly at the German Open

GOLD...Even if it was done with 2 very 'ugly' runs! The course that was set for the semi and finals seemed to be a little more straight forward than the previous day however Leanne had quite a few difficulties on both runs with a roll in gate 10 and 3 spins per run. Luckily it was enough and she was able to take away the gold medal. It was good fun racing under lights, there was a fantastic atmosphere, loads of spectators and a few carnival activities such as laser shooting, soccer kicking power, surfboard riding and a duck race.
Earlier in the day Chris and Scott combined with Phil (K1), Heather (LK1) and Christian (C1) to compete in the CAT 4 teams event. They had a solid clear run on an intense course which involved at least 4 up stream gates on each section and finished middle of the field in 7th.
Now the Australian contingent travels to Bratislava for the Slovakian Open next week. Information and results can be found here.
