Kristin Oja (freestyle), Michalina Laskowska (TT racing) and Kathrin Borgwardt (course racing) have won the second stage of the KB4girls 2012 World Tour, held in Pranburi, Thailand.
The competition coaching theory prior to the start of the competition was separated into course race and freestyle coaching while all girls were brought together for social time and a wakeboarding session to bond together as a group. During the contest each girl was then supervised as much as possible. "The most important thing for me though is to create a real group feel between all the female competitors, as false competitiveness can be intimidating for new girls on the scene", she continues. "It was simply great to see how well all the girls got along with each other and how supportive they were towards each other after getting to know each other a bit better. I had a great time watching and supporting the girls and hope they did too." While the Course Board Racing class also represents the Asian Championship podium, the Asian Freestyle Champions were determined by the season’s overall ranking. First place went to Aya Oshima, followed by Paula Rosales and Tien Ye. |
