+35 World Championships start Today

[MattP]

Tomorrow starts the +35 Worlds at Jacks. You can find the running orders and time table HERE. With over 125 USA athletes coming out of the woodwork I would say that some of these divisions would be more competitive than a US Nationals.. With over 300 athletes I would assume it is the highest attended +35 Worlds to date. The pros of the past and some of today are in the mix who will come out on top in their respective divisions?

 

I skimmed the running orders and pulled out some names that y'all might recognize.

Andy Mapple S & T

Jodi Fisher

Jeff Rodgers

Ben Favret

Drew Ross

Todd "The Editor" Ristorcelli

Kris LaPoint

Marc Shaw

Seth Stisher

Jason Seels

Russel Gay

Jennifer LaPoint

June Fladborg

April Coble

Brenda Baldwin

@eleeski‌ is top seed in his division...

@Horton missed his chance of tricking in a Worlds...

[Horton]

@mattp we all know that it is @eleeski‌ who kept me out of Sr Worlds. He scored me in C and not L when I tricked enough to qualify. It was his plan to keep me away from the Sr. Worlds so I would not out trick him.

[Horton]

How did @Sethski get in there? I thought he was banned from international competition since that mayonnaise incident.

[MISkier]

Do you have any links to the running order, scores, or webcast? My ski partner is there skiing on the Swedish team.

[MattP]

Webcast should be available

Live Broadcast

 

@MISkier‌ why do I even bother...

[MISkier]

Thanks, @MattP. I guess that is what I get for reading BOS when I first wake up (yes, I am that addicted). I missed the great big giant HERE link in the original post. Thanks for the webcast link.

[MattP]

@9400‌ @MISkier‌ @klindy‌ @ski6‌

>>>>> Scoring is LIVE <<<<<

[MattP]

Marc Bedsole the Rollins Team coach who is seeded 8th in +45 Trick just skied what I believe is a PB for him 5@32.

[klindy]

Scoring isn't exactly working like it should. Seems the software is having trouble with two feeds (two lakes) so it's not displaying correctly.

[MattP]

@klindy‌ it looks like it is working right now. There is only 1 lake in use currently for slalom. We will see when the +65 group starts to jump later today.

[MattP]

Webcast is LIVE

[klindy]

Or not....

[9400]

I did get to see 1 pass.

[klindy]

Me too. 3 skiers, 2 buoys at a time.

[9400]

Seems to working but we're not getting the top seeds in 45+. It looks like the bottom seeds in 55+.

[gsm_peter]

Is the results available on any web page?

Live results does not seem to include all completed runs??

 

What does the 'star' indicate?

 

We have a few Swedes in the race!

[klindy]

Not sure of the star but the live scoring is messed up because they are scoring on multiple computers and it's not recognizing which score to post (at least that's my theory).

 

The webcast is of no value at this time. The crew there is capable and understand the importance of a decent webcast so I'm sure they are working on it. Until then we don't have much.

 

It seems to be getting more and more stable all the time.

[MattP]

@klindy‌ thus the reason I created @ballofscores‌

[klindy]

Cool. I forgot about that. Sorry. But just checking now looks like the last post was wishing Terence Fogharty happy birthday. I don't see any scores. Am I not refreshing correctly?

[MattP]

@klindy‌ I did not line up a tweeter because I was thinking the live scoring and webcast would be working. I will look into it. Hard to get people to tweet for 4 days though... I will talk to my usual suspects that are on site

[RazorRoss3]

Is there a trick to sound? I don't know these guys by their faces unfortunately.

[MattP]

@RazorRoss3‌ The only thing I can think of is look at the bib number of the skier and match it up to the running order.

[RazorRoss3]

@MattP‌, thanks, I think I can manage that for the sake of knowing whose skiing. As fun as it is to watch good skiing, I do like to know who I'm watching as well.

[A_B]

Anyone have results? I want to see how my home boy Ted Mccolloy did. I thought I saw he was 6th with 3.5@38, so hope he made the final. His dual lock released again comin out of the buoy. (So he says). Can't find final prelim results.

[MattP]

@AB 3.5@38 for 6th. He is in the finals. http://www.iwwfed-ea.org/competition.php?cc=T-14IWWF35&page=55_m_slalom_results

 

It's like heading cats around here.

[klindy]

Unfortunately another day without a webcast. At least I can't get it to work.

[MattP]

Prelim Results as of 10/9 12:00

+45 Mens Slalom Prelim

+55 Mens Slalom Prelim

+65 Mens Slalom Prelim

+35 Ladies Slalom Prelim

[A_B]

Ted normally run 38 all day. Had the same pre-release at Nationals. He said Dave Goode was working on his ski afterwards, so maybe he can inch up the ladder a little in the finals.

 

Of course we will give him some more razzing about using old tape on his ski when he gets home...

[klindy]

@AB‌ only difference at Nationals was he had just got out of the water at the far end and just before he pulled out it was like a freak summersault over the tip of the ski. But he say the dual lock released and had never done that before.

[A_B]

Yea that was a freak thing. We still can tease him though...

[Than_Bogan]

Bruuuuuce!

 

(Epstein 2nd in 65+. Go Vermont!)

[eleeski]

Great day at Senior Worlds. Toured the nearby Searey amphibian factory. Went to Seaplane City for lunch and a seaplane flight. Made it to the site just in time for the parade and to connect with friends. Ice cream and rum back in the room with Dee and Connie and Forest.

 

Hmm, I guess I ski tomorrow. But already a wonderful experience.

[MattP]

@Horton‌ I was just waiting for you to chime in. @mlusa‌ great skiing.

[A_B]

 

[Zman]

Video streaming yet this morning?

[Mateo_Vargas]

Those damn commercials. Right in the middle of Mapple's 41 off pass. I'll never buy a Stella again but will still drink it if someone gives it to me.

[klindy]

There's a delay from what they see live vs what's broadcast. Unfortunately they haven't figured that out yet. It's happened at least 4 times while I've been watching.

 

If someone there would just fire up a laptop or tablet and log on to what were watching they'd make some adjustments. I suspect they haven't.

[A_B]

@skidawg‌ busting it up!

[Edbrazil]

Nice to see that Kris is apparently qualified for the Finals. And at age 61 (?), wow. Looks

like a large field of competitors there. Regret that I'm stuck up North for a while.

[klindy]

I know of two before Fredric ran it today. So 3 total.

[Razorskier1]

Congrats to Team Mapple in the 45+ division!

[klindy]

@rico‌ I was TC when Jeff did it three times in four rounds and set the current record (1-1/4@43-55kph). I saw Andy and Fredric do it on the webcast this weekend. I don't know of anyone else who has under L or R conditions.

[9400]

Fred runs some the nicest 39s at 36 you will ever see. He is regularly good for 3 at 41 at 36. The funny thing is I don't see him practice 39s very much.

 

[Horton]

Fred is the 55k skier no one knows about

[skidawg]

He's the 58k skier that's skis 55k!!!!
