Jacinta Carroll

[Nando]

This may expose my ignorance or at least my current lack of connections, but what's up with Jacinta Carroll?  Is she injured?  Or, has she just had enough of all it takes to be the GOAT of women's jumping with little or no reward?  She's such an amazing athlete and a great personality and the major events are lacking without her.  I thought she might be at the Worlds with some association support, but no...  Insights?

[MISkier]

I think they said on the webcast that she was having a baby?

[Nando]

Missed that- well, that's a good enough excuse not to ski; hope she comes back, though.

[Horton]

Ahhhh I wondered about that. Can anyone confirm.

[MISkier]

@Horton, go to the 46:15 mark.

If you haven't already listened to The Water Ski Podcast episode featuring Jacinta's story of breaking the 200 foot barrier and the events that followed, it's worth a listen. She is an absolute legend and it's a loss to not have her on the starting dock.   

 

[Nando]

@Horton, how'd I miss that???

[Horton]

News is confirmed.

[Mateo_Vargas]

Name the baby contest?

[MISkier]

Sky (or Skylar) if it's a girl.  Landon if it's a boy.

It'll make you wonder if you wanna buy Nautique.

Kit is a baby rabbit and is gender neutral.  Seems appropriate.

Spoiler Alert.
Pretty sure she said she will not ski an event behind a Nautique . Ever. 

[rockdog]

Well, except for Moomba. Which she won. Possibly whilst pregnant..

[Drago]

Hmm, good point. Was she just talking about Masters? Maybe I should re-listen...
