2nd IWWF World Trophy 2010 IZMIT / Turkey
WAKEBOARD. The IWWF World Trophy 2010 in Izmit ended with some surprising results in the Open categories. A reason for this could be the new Rixen cableway which was just finished last month. All riders were extremely pleased with the brand-new cable which appeal lies mostly in its above average height and enormous pull. This makes it possible for the riders to put even more intensity into their tricks.
Thus some riders were keen to experiment and willing to take some risks on the water.
No happy ending for the peoples’ favorite Frederic von Osten though. The young German rider who took the European Champion title the other day in the Junior category wanted to go for the big cash prize and registered for the Open category. Unfortunately he was going for all or nothing and crashed twice after he won the qualification runs. This time luck was on Nick Davies’ side. The british rider, who is one of the world’s best, takes away the 10.000 $ cash prize for the first place and surpassed European Champion Mike Ketellapper (NL) on place 2. The remaining german hope Dominik Guehrs came third.
The Open Ladies were not less exciting and surprising. Current World Champion and freshly made European Champion Kirsteen Mitchell (GBR) failed and came only on 4th place. The most successful and dominating female rider of the past years Maxine Sapulette (NL) must settle with the 2nd place. Denise de Haan, also from the Netherlands, who came back to the cable after solely riding behind the boat for some years took the third place today. The most surprising result however is 18 years old Sophia Marie Reimers from Germany. After taking the Juniors European Champion title yesterday she decided to compete with the Open Ladies today and after two solid runs she took the number one spot with 5.000 $ cash prize.
