Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 6, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2021 Thx @Broussard . I'm not a fan of USA Waterski website so I kinda avoid it. Looks like the team will be announced soon. Not like the old days with Team Trials.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ETskier Posted September 6, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2021 USA fans, start praying. If our bunch skies well, we can win. A lot of strong international teams. Team competition is going to be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Broussard Posted September 6, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2021 @Cooper_Trelawney Yeah, it's not great. Took me a while to find it. I would have thought the team would have already been selected by now. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 8, 2021 The World's at Sunset Lakes is about a month away now. I'm looking forward to the Men's Overall competition. The overall world record has been increased a few times this year and there are some really strong contenders. Will Regina be healed up enough to compete? Will defending champs Joel Howley and Jacenta Carroll make it out of Australia to defend their titles? Will 41 off be run? Will Ryan Dodd be recovered to compete? So many story lines and this is the first World Championships in the US at a premium site in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2021 Any word on the US Team for the Worlds yet? @Broussard posted a link to the USA Waterski Site saying the team would be announced on or around Sept. 14th...

Baller MattP Posted September 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2021 Athletes that have been selected to the 2021 U.S. Elite Water Ski Team are (alphabetical order): Brooke Baldwin (Winter Garden, Fla.,), Taylor Garcia (Winter Garden, Fla.), Anna Gay (Winter Garden, Fla.), Freddy Krueger (Winter Garden, Fla.), Erika Lang (Gilbert, Ariz.) and Nate Smith (McCordsville, Ind.). https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Water-Ski/News/2021/September/15/Six-Athletes-Selected-To-US-Elite-Water-Ski-Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted September 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2021 I’m the last guy to care about trick but, we don’t have a male tricker on the team? We have 2 women trickers. Maybe I’d understand if I read the criteria. Never mind, that made it more confusing. 2 male jumpers. 2 female trickers. Interesting choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted September 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2021 Looks like Winter Garden Fl is well represented. (especially as Smith owns a house and spends 1/2 his time here.) Of course what water ski tournament isn't, especially after you add in the international skiers that live her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2021 I think we are going to miss Regina Jaquess on the US team big time. Brooke is a strong 3 eventer but I think Regina would have been favored to medal in overall, slalom and jump. Too bad she got injured this year. I can imagine Canada is bringing a strong team. Should make for a tough team competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted September 20, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted September 20, 2021 I hear through the grapevine that Regina is back on a slalom ski and intends to slalom at worlds. She’s wearing a brace. She was sighted at Lake 38 last week. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted September 23, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2021 @BS74 The skier ski in "Series" Since they cant pull them all in one day and allows them to break up the skiing to pull different events each day.

Baller BG1 Posted September 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2021 I looked at the Worlds schedule of events on the IWWF website and it shows Men 7, Men 6, Men 5…Men 1. Is Men 1 the top seeds and Men 7 the bottom seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller kc Posted September 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2021 @BG1 Yes, as @MattP answered that question a couple of posts above yours…The lower the number, the higher the seeds.

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2021 @skierjp I saw a social media post that Jacinta Carroll boosted a 194' jump at Fluid.

Baller skierjp Posted October 7, 2021 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2021 Weird how many of these skiers live, train, own homes, and work in the US but ski for a different country. I would also bet some of these skiers have not set foot in the country their skiing for in years. Doesn’t matter to me, just seems strange.

Baller_ lpskier Posted October 8, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well, not to speak for @skierjp, but he may be referring to the several US born- dual citizen athletes skiing for Canada, which account for three members of their team and a fourth skiing as an individual. One member of the Canadian team is eligible to ski for three different countries. And all I have to sort out which region I ski in… Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BS74 Posted October 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2021 Is it one round best score gets to the finals? What about ties? Suppose a skier from group 4 through 7 throws up a big score? How many make it to the finals? Sorry for all those questions, is there a place that explains all of this? My questions are regarding slalom.

Baller Killer Posted October 8, 2021 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2021 @BS74 top 12 skiers only in the final. Run off for 12th, doesn't matter the series you start in, just the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
