The latest results from FIS
demonstrate Australia HUGE potential to do well in
International BoarderCross and Big Air, with 24
riders in the top 150 in SBX, 18 in Big Air, 4 in
Half-pipe 3 in Slalom and 3 in GS.
We now wait with great hope that the IOC will
announce SBX as an Olympic sport - and we have great
medal hopes for 2006!!
Damon Haylor and Emily Thomas led the Australians in
World Championships in SBX - with the rest of the
team not far behind. Australia has great depth in
this discipline, and we are waiting to see great
results at both Junior Worlds and Topolino this
year. Big Air is a relatively new event - and the
Aussies are flying high!!
Unfortunately there was no Female event at Worlds
(very sexist!) but we still have 4 girls in the top
10 in the world!!
