Alisa Camplin has added the world championship title to
her Salt Lake 2002 gold medal with a world record
performance on the Olympic jump site in Deer Valley,
Utah.
The Olympic Winter Institute skier strung together two
personal best jumps, and set a world record total points
score of 207.31 to claim the crown ahead of defending
champion Veronika Bauer of Canada.
Salt Lake Olympic bronze medallist Diedra Dionne of
Canada finished in third place.
Australia’s other finalist, Liz Gardner, placed 10th on
157.357 points
It was a brilliant performance by Alisa. She landed a
personal best triple twisting double somersault to score
101.88 points in the first round of jumping, claiming
second place behind Swiss skier Evelyne Leu on 102.20,
with Bauer in third.
In the second round, the Mt Buller skier produced
another personal best score on the other triple twisting
somersault in her repertoire, taking the title when Leu
crashed and plummeted to ninth place overall.
“It was simply awesome jumping by Alisa today,” said OWI
coach Todd Ossian.
“Just like in the Olympics, the pressure was really on
her in the second jump, and she pulled out a huge pb and
a world record to win.”
“She showed everyone again just what a great big
occasion performer she is.”
