After
yesterday’s grown-up version, the weekend came to a fittingly fun close with a
kids’ race on the pistes of Val Gardena. More than 230 children took part and
were split into four categories.
Val
Gardena enjoyed another great day of fun today. After yesterday morning’s
thrilling edition of the Südtirol Gardenissima, the world’s longest giant
slalom, today brought the second outing of the Südtirol Gardenissima Kids for young
skiers born between 2003 and 2010.
After
yesterday’s victories of Alexander
Rabanser and Verena
Stuffer plus a great showing from a large group of former
champions, today brought its own excitement. The atmosphere was much more
relaxed and jolly as trainers, family members, friends and regular enthusiasts
cheered on the champions of tomorrow all the way as they made their descent.
An
impressive number of 230 youngsters took part in this fun but competitive race,
negotiating the 62 gates on the route from the top of Monte Seceda to the
finish-line at 2,055 metres. The absolutely spectacular piste ran over two
kilometres with a 463-metre elevation change and was anything but a breeze.
Under the event rules, participants were split into four different
classifications: the Teens standings were topped by Max Perathoner and
Chayenne Kostner who
stopped the clock in times of 1'51.49 and 1'54.40 respectively. The
Under-12s Cubs category was won by Nathan
Perathoner and Ana
Bokal. Then, going down another couple of years, we find Arik Plancker and
Lisa Mahlknecht first
over the line in the Baby category, while the winners in the Superbaby were Matthias Mahlknecht and Ronja Kletzl.
