Sukay Park World Trophy becomes enthusiastic

5-10-2009

The first day of the CWWC Tour finals was the thriller many expected. Little rain disrupted the otherwise perfect conditions at the Sukay Park in Bursa. Just in time for the qualification rounds of the Open Men the sun came back and brought the spectators with it. About 2.500 people were amazed by the tricks shown by the magicians of water sports.

As predicted, the qualification rounds revealed some surprises. Whilst Tom Fooshee (USA), Lior Sofer (ISR), Nick Davies (GB) and Dominik Guehrs (GER) advanced to the finals directly, the current World Champion Mike Ketellapper (NL) will have to use his last chance tomorrow to get a place in the finals. Also Steffen Vollert (GER), Keith Lidberg (USA) as well as Daniel Fetz (AUT) and Christian Koester (GB) did not qualify directly and will fight for one of the two places left. The last chance qualifier will be a tough one and despite of the riders skills it seems like the one with the strongest nerves will make it to the finals.

The Open Ladies qualification was won by the odds-on favorite Maxine Sapulette. The 18-years old dutch girl showed without any doubt for what she is going at this competition. Out of all riders she is the one that could make the hat trick and take the money for all three parts - The win of the trophy itself, the overall tour as well as the world ranking is what she is focused on right now.

Bad Luck had the german lady Kathrin Oegretici who qualified for the finals but crashed in her second run after the kicker and unfortunately injured her knee. The second best qualified lady is Sophia Marie Reimers (GER). Still a Junior Lady she was showing in which direction the sport is going for the female riders.

For the Juniors everything went according to the plan and we will see who is joining the finals tomorrow after the last chance qualifier rounds.
