World Championships Update - Day 3
It was a real pleasure to see and hear the big crowd cheer as racers headed down the hill, following the times on the large timer displays and every time a new best time was set the crowd burst out in a an even louder cheer! Racers had pretty good speed in a course that wasn´t too challenging, but still interesting. The difficulty was primarily to find just the right line, not to loose out on any speed that should be preciously kept all the way through. Dominik early on set the time to look up to and noone was even coming near until Joe McLaren unleashed his power and worked through the course. Being the current GS world champion he wasn´t going to give it away too easily. Giant slalom has often been won by American riders and once again that rule was confirmed. Nobody could challenge Joe, even in their second runs, and as a matter of fact not many did actually improve their times on their second try.

World Championships Update - Day 2
Some timing issues delayed proceedings and things were further compounded when another heavy downpour halfway through the second qualifying runs bought things to an abrupt end - seemingly for the day!
Following an extended lunch break Robert announced that we would have to use the completed first run times to decide the final positions for the Hybrid. However with the sun shining through, starting to dry out the track the racers decided with a show of hands that they would prefer to wait for the track to dry and complete the second qualifying runs. The earlier wind having dropped away times were a lot quicker in the second session of qualifying.
In the Womens Division Kathrin Sehl took the Hybrid title from Olesya Naumchik and Lienite Skaraine took the third place spot following a protest from Olesya regarding cone counts.
After some very intense, fast runs it was Joe McLaren that won through to take the Mens Hybrid crown with a time of 12.70 with Viking Hadestrand (12.83) in second and after a long absence from the racing scene the returning Henrik Wadsten (12.89) took the third spot. Dominik Kowalski just missed out on a podium place by the narrowest of margins with his time of 12.93.
Over and out from Stuttgart - off to the Giant Slalom this morning.

World Championships Update - Day 1
Following a warm welcome from Robert, his crew and the City of Stuttgart qualifying got underway for the Tight Slalom. Times were incredibly close, nowhere more so that in the Mens Open Division where just 0.96 seconds separated the top 16 riders!
The under 12 Junior Division was won by up and coming Dutch rider Melle Stolk who put in a solid performance - one to watch out for in coming years.
In the 12-16 Juniors the racing was really fast and furious. After some very close heats it was Pavel protege Vincent Kitzhöfer that took the first place, with Czech Vitek Hromadko in second. Anna Tehza and Max Thiele took third and fourth respectively.
In the Womens Division relative newcomer Olesya Naumchik of Russia was keen to build on her recent performance in the Euro's, alas she took a nasty fall in one of her final heats.
Lienite Skaraine was then left to battle it out with Kathrin Sehl, but cone penalties were to be Kathrin's undoing leaving Lienite to take the title. Olesya bravely fought back and took third place in the consolation round from Eva Jedlickova.
The mens round of 16 started under overcast skies and as things were really hotting up going into the round of 8 the heavens open causing the days racing to come to a premature end.
Full results from today will be posted up by the organisers tomorrow as I understand. Stay tuned for more tomorrow, this is your Worlds correspondent signing off for now!

TEXAS OUTLAWS Will Host 2013 World Championships!
After careful consideration, the ISSA Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Texas Outlaws' application to host the 2013 World Championships of Slalom Skateboarding. The Outlaws' application, and their track record of hosting the very popular Cold Fusion Sizzler race for nine years in a row, showed that they have access to world-class hills and facilities, along with an organization that is capable of hosting an event of World Championship size and scope.
The 2013 World Championships will receive the ISSA's highest event status, Major, for 2013 in North America.
Exact dates have not yet been decided, but the event will likely be held in late October or early November 2013. It is hoped that awarding the World Championships designation well in advance will allow the group ample time to recruit and attract sponsors.
More details will be announced here on slalomskateboarder.com as further developments occur.
