Asami Hashimoto (JAP) is leading the field
in the men’s and Nobuko Okamoto (JAP) in the women’s after
the first day of the Boost New Zealand Snowboard Nationals at Cardrona Alpine Resort. The day kicked off with the giant slalom race and a field of over 70 riders from around the world. Qualification runs were against the clock but the finals whittled the field down in nail-biting duel elimination rounds – New Zealand’s first ever parallel giant slalom. Senior Men’s runner up was Rene Brunner from Austria and third place went to Yoshitatsu Hanzaki (JAP) while in the women’s, Jess Mortimer from Auckland came second and Casey Gosper (AUS) received third. The Juniors’ results showed a promising future for New Zealand snowboarding with Kiwis taking second, third and fourth in both the men’s and women’s. Australian, Kenneth Timms won the junior men’s while Stephanie Hickey, also from Australia came first in the women’s “We’ve added a whole new dimension to alpine racing today where the competitors were not just racing against the clock but also against each other. We saw some world class racing in this event and it was a fantastic start to this year’s nationals,” said Graham Dunbar, president of New Zealand Snowboard Association (NZSBA) |
