Japan strong in Snowboard World Cup opener, Argentinean World Cup premiere
The LG Snowboard FIS World Cup season kicked off in New Zealand last weekend. In the Cardrona super-pipe, Team Japan showed its half-pipe strength. In a remarkable starter field, Shiho Nakashima (ladies) and Kohhei Kudoh (men) both celebrated victory. In the men's competition, Kudoh edged his teammate and 2007 half-pipe World Cup winner Ryoh Aono by 1.3 points as he threw an almost perfect run deservedly earning 48.9 of possible 50 points. Altogether 32 ladies and 53 men from 20 nations had travelled ‘downunder' for the start of the season in ideal conditions.
Moving onto South America this week, the FIS World Cup tour will continue in Chapelco, Argentina, this Friday and Saturday, 12th-13th September. The men's and ladies' snowboard cross season opening will also represent the first ever FIS Snowboard World Cup competitions in Argentina. The field in South America features strong teams from France, Switzerland, USA, and Canada, among others, including the reigning World Cup winners Maelle Ricker (CAN) and Pierre Vaultier (FRA). Exciting duels are in store in great snow conditions as Argentina enjoys one of the best snow seasons ever.
