Action continues at Freestyle World Championships and Wengen World Cup Slalom changed to Saturday for Dave Ryding

After strong performances from Lloyd and Elodie Wallace
in Aerials (15th and 20th respectively) and a 22nd
and 30th place for Zoe Gillings-Brier and Stephanie Gehrig in
Snowboard Cross, the action continues at the Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World
Championships in Kreischberg. This weekend sees Ellie Koyander and Andrew
Longley competing in Moguls, with Slopestyle, Ski Halfpipe and Big Air all
taking place next week. The Ski Cross action happens next weekend.
Away from Kreischberg, Billy Morgan is competing at the
Air + Style in Innsbruck, with qualifying on the Big Air jump taking place
today and the finals tomorrow. Rowan Coultas is in China for the Red Bull
Nanshan Open. The invite only event will feature 30 riders in the largest
Slopestyle competition in Asia. Qualification takes place on Saturday, with
finals on Sunday. Both riders will be looking to emulate the success of 15 year
old snowboarder Fin Bremner who came a phenomenal 4th place at the
World Rookie Fest in Livigno, the largest youth snowboard series in the world.
Check out Fin's run on the GB Park and Pipe Facebook page here.
For the Delancey British Alpine Ski Team, Cara Brown
competes today in the Downhill at the St Moritz Europa Cup, and will compete in
Super G over the weekend. Because of the snow that is forecast for later today,
the Downhill in Wengen has been changed to Sunday, meaning Dave Ryding’s Slalom
race will now take place tomorrow. Run one takes place at 9am UK time.
For the senior British Nordic team, it is just Posy
Musgrave in action, competing in the 5km Classic and the 5km Freestyle Pursuit
at the Austrian National Championships in Lackenhof this weekend.
