Monday, October 18th, 2010BIG CRASH FOR WORLD RECORD HOLDER JUNE AT ROCKETMAN TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY
June in World Cup action
It has been an extraordinary season for Denmark’s talented June Fladborg. A dream came true for our World Cup Star last week when her new World Jump Record of 57.1m was approved by the World Tournament Council. Now it was time to celebrate, enjoy a few last competitions of 2010 and plan for 2011.
June’s long term Coach Ray Stokes has just contacted us with some bad news. Well known for over 15 years of visits to Golden Falls and also for training with June here at our Club. June was competing yesterday at the Rocketman Tournament in Florida USA. Her cut to the Ramp was World Record stuff all over again and her timing was also perfect. Then, about 10m into the flight time, June’s heel came partly out of her binding. The crash which followed was not a pretty sight.
Ray has confirmed that June has broken her heel bone. Right now she is heading for surgery and we await news from the Medics shortly. We know that all her World Cup fans and friends wish her a speedy recovery. While we recognise that injuries are a part of many exciting sports, there is never a right moment for this to happen. Our new World Record holder has a challenging time ahead and we all wish her well.
GEOFF & DARYL SHINE AT HAZELWOOD’S SKI WORLD
Friday, September 3rd, 2010SOME OF OUR JUMPERS JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER !
Geoff needs a Pilot's License
The annual pilgrimage to Cray valley / Hazelwood’s Ski World still attracts some of the best Skiers in the World. This year was certainly no exception. Included in the line-up were our own Geoff Clarke and Daryl Higgins. Geoff entered the 55+ category and Daryl the 35+ Category. Both have shown steady improvements over the Summer and both have also come back from various injuries. Thankfully, their recovery looks good.
This Three Round Jump event – with SplashEye of course, was outstanding for several reasons. Firstly, both Geoff and Daryl actually won their Categories. Geoff scored one of the longest distances for the 55+ in the World this year with 38.5m. Daryl broke the 40m barrier to land 40.4m. Congratulations to both Geoff and Daryl on a great performance. Geoff will now head for Italy for next week’s World 35+ Championships and we will have direct reports here for you during the week.
Daryl breaks that 40m Barrier
As if that was not enough excitement for one weekend !
June Fladborg DEN is well known to us at Golden Falls – as she has trained with us and Ray Stokes over the years. Having got within a 1.0m of the 2002 56.6m World Record set by Elena Milakova / Thomsen just a week earlier, this time she landed 57.4m – for a new pending World Record. Let’s hope that Hazelwoods had all the boxes ticked on that one. This was history in the making.
The Open Men finished off the day with some outstanding performances also – Ryan Dodd CAN took the top slot with 71.3m and young Zack Worden USA was very close behind with 71.2m. What a weekend !
