Nice work, Joy!

[Edbrazil]

Looks like it paid off for Joy to take some time off before staging a comeback.

What does the * next to a skier's name signify ?

[Edbrazil]

The * means they are not on their country's designated team. Except in the case of the

accounting of the standings by country, where the * means that score was used in the

calculation. Note that the team scores are NOT based on Winner=1000 points, but

on a NOPS-like calculation. Producing some scores in excess of 1000 points. See Rule

5.03 in the 35+ Rules. Note Olivier Fortamps' (BEL) BIG points in Tricks.

USA locks up Gold in team championship. Many individuals have a great tournament also.

[Mateo_Vargas]

Tournament should be called 200 Shades of Gray.

scores are a little down? SuperGreg does not miss 39 often.

KLP adds "World Champion" to his long resume. Florida's Donna Switzer takes third in slalom, Shirley Coble fourth.

KLP never won the real worlds back in the day? That doesn't seem possible...

Great to see one of THE nicest guys in the sport, Jeremy Newby-Ricci, take the title in 45+.

@MrJones

I seem to remember KLP on the way to the win at the Worlds and is handle broke. Perhaps Ed B or someone can confirm that?

[MrJones]

If I remember correctly, Bob won 5. Andy won a ton. I guess the two of those guys didn't leave many hanging there on the tree. It just seems that since he broke the world record as a teenager (correct me if I'm wrong) there would have to have been a world championship in KLP's history.

Watched Greg Tate ski at his private Lake a few weeks back. He is an incredible skier. Its cool to see he did so well in his class.

[Edbrazil]

Best of my knowledge, KLP skied as World Record Holder in 3 Worlds: 1975, 1977, and

1979. Had the best preliminary round score in 1975. Got 2nd to brother Bob in 1979,

at the Toronto Worlds. Originally, the Worlds was mainly a team event, so as a one-

eventer, Kris couldn't make the US team, like Bob did. Later they added Record Holders,

and even later, people high up on the Rankings.
