29th July 2010
Lake Wanaka, New Zealand (29 July 2010)Lucie Tait-Jamieson (Auckland), Alexandra McGlinn (Christchurch) and Taylor Rapley (Queenstown) had a great start to their southern hemisphere racing season yesterday, placing first (124.81), second (125.27) and third (125.53) respectively in the womens FIS slalom races at Cardrona Alpine Resort.
Lucie Tait-Jamieson has worked hard, said Alpine Manager, James Lazor. It was nice to see her top the podium.
This has set the standard for what we should see all season. There should be some great competition amongst the kiwi women.
New Zealands top mens Alpine Ski Racer, Ben Griffin (Ohakune) placed third with a time of 123.45, a great result for him given that he specializes in Giant Slalom and Super G. He will decrease his FIS points in slalom as a result of his performance.
Adam Barwood (Queenstown) also put in a good performance, placing fifth with a time of 124.43.
The top two placing men were Xavier Salarich (SPA) with a time of 123.32 and Min-heuk Kang (KOR) with a time of 123.34.
