U.S. Grand Prix FIS World Cup at Solitude

Eva Samkova (CZE) and Alessandro Haemmerle (AUT) pictured above have claimed victory in this season's second snowboard cross event which was staged at Solitude Mountain Resort today out of a field of 24 women and 48 men.

Heavy snow fall and challenging wind conditions at the venue of the 2019 sbx world championships decisions had forced Race Organisers to postpone the start of the finals several times after some of the teams did have some problems making it to the resort. A massive snowstorm had heavily impacted the only access road through Big Cottonwood Canyon. However, after a delay of 90 minutes, racing resumed on which featured the exciting finals everyone was hoping for. In the women's finals, Samkova rode her own race controlling the field from the front and keeping herself out of the battles for the positions and lines finally snatching her career's sixth in dominant fashion.

“The first days were perfect but today was tricky. We almost didn't get up the hill because the traffic was crazy. But we made it and waited a little bit. Finally we were able to race. It was nice but everything was different compared to training and qualifiers. I'm really happy,” Samkova said. Thursday's best qualifier therefore also took over the lead from Belle Brockhoff (AUS), who finished sixth today, in the World Cup standings being in front with 1,400 points now. Michela Moioli (ITA) and four-time world champion Lindsey Jacobellis (USA) rounded out the women's podium as second and third.

Alessandro Haemmerle came out victorious of a nail-biting final edging off new World Cup leader Omar Visintin (ITA) to the second rank. “The day started pretty weird. It took us three hours to come up her but then it all ended up fine. Racing was tough. It was very difficult with the snow fall and wind.

But once you had the feeling for the course you were just going for it. And I was fortunate to take home that win,” Haemmerle stated after securing his career's third in a breathtaking showdown.

In fact, things could have ended the other way round with him missing out the win as the decision between him and Visintin was a photo finish decision. Second race, second again. I guess that's good, also there was just a few centimetres missing in a tough race,” commented Visintin. The 2014 sbx World Cup title winner took over the lead in the race for the Crystal Globe with his second consecutive runner-up finish and now 1,600 points in his pocket.

Alex Deibold (USA) rounded out the men's podium in third admitting that he likes those adverse weather competitions: “It was challenging conditions. But you know, I tend to do well in adverse weather growing up in New England. I think the snow brought the pressure down a little bit. It seemed to be a little bit less tense up there. I just rode my own race. I'm just so stoked I was able to put it together.”

I'm watching the winter olympics. Why shouldn't I since I love them more than the summer ones.

First of all seeing Shaun White retiring was like a piece of childhood that goes away all of a sudden I mean there will be no one or few like him.

In second place, I celebrated with joy the Boe brothers on the podium together on the biathlon then I think I may have a crush on a certain Nils van der Poel (don't ask me why). Lara Gut and Beat Feuz made me go boom boom like never before and frankly I'm glad with it and the same goes for the Latvian luge team relay, the Tobys and Queralt Castellet.

As for my national team well I screamed when we won our historical first gold medal in curling. The chemistry between Amos and Stefania was just pure poetry, seeing them coordinating their moves (the first with his huge sweeping and the second with her surgical precision, sorry Swiss lol) was ethereal, for real. In speed skating (both long and short track) we're doing a really nice impression as always apart from chutes but it's part of the sport. Then Doro winning her medal in biathlon (finally!), Dominik getting the podium in luge (finally too!) and Omar winning two medals in snowboardcross let me tell you, these were some I enjoyed the most. Even if all my home country medals are pure treasures haha.

Anyway I just hope we get more medals and some of my faves get the glory they deserve.

NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA – MAY 21: Paralympian Evan Strong flights his skateboard down a hill on May … [+] 21, 2020 in Nevada City, California. Strong is doing a mix of weight lifting, skateboarding, mountain cycling, and combined martial arts to remain in shape throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Strong won the gold medal in para snowboard cross at the 2014 Paralympics in Russia the silver medal in banked slalom at the 2018 South Korean Paralympic Games.

Dew Tour marks lots of firsts in 2021. It’s the very first time the occasion has actually been kept in Des Moines, Iowa—house to the brand-new Lauridsen Skatepark, now the biggest skatepark in the United States.

It’s not the very first time Dew Tour has actually worked as an approved certifying occasion for skateboarding ahead of its launching in the Tokyo Olympics—the very same held true in 2019, prior to the certification duration was extended a year to represent Covid-19—however it’s the very first time hopefuls can definitively clinch an Olympic berth.

And for the very first time considering that its launching in 2005, Summer Dew Tour includes adaptive skateboarding competitors—in ladies’s and guys’s street and guys’s park. Now a recognized part of Winter Dew Tour, the objective is that moving on, the summertime occasion will make adaptive competitors irreversible.

“Incorporating adaptive skateboarding has been part of our plan for quite some time. With the support of our mobility partner Toyota, we were able to make it happen this year,” Dew Tour vice president and basic supervisor Courtney Gresik informed me. “Our goal is to keep it part of our event and help raise the awareness of adaptive skateboarding and its incredible athletes.”

On May 17, Toyota, currently a sponsor of Team U.S.A. Olympians and Paralympians—consisting of two-time Paralympic snowboard medalist Evan Strong—revealed a program in collaboration with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation to support U.S. Paralympic professional athletes.

Through the program, which makes use of the freshly developed Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund, Toyota will supply qualified Team U.S.A. Paralympic professional athletes presently training and in contention for the Tokyo and Beijing Games a one-time $3,000 stipend. Opt-in sponsorship chances will likewise be made to professional athletes called to the U.S. Paralympic Team for both the Tokyo and Beijing Games.

“Toyota believes in the power of sport and its ability to connect people with diverse backgrounds as they compete with mutual respect towards a common goal,” stated Dedra DeLilli, group supervisor, Sponsorship, Integration, and Auto Shows, Toyota Marketing, Toyota Motor North America. “There is no better place than the Paralympic Games for Toyota to reinforce our fervent belief that everyone is entitled to the freedom of movement in a more inclusive society.”

Strong, who won gold in snowboardcross at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games and silver in banked slalom at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Games, is preparing to choose snowboard gold once again at Beijing 2022.

However, he has actually likewise been dealing with a coach who trains able-bodied snowboarders and contending in able-bodied snowboard racing, and his ultimate objective is to contend versus able-bodied riders in Olympic snowboardcross and banked slalom.

But climbing up the world ranks of Olympic and Paralympic snowboarding isn’t adequate to please Strong’ s competitive drive. Sunday’s Dew Tour adaptive skateboarding competitors is a crucial action towards Strong understanding a dream he’s had considering that youth.

Before being struck by an intoxicated chauffeur while riding his motorbike at age 17, which needed the amputation of his left leg listed below the knee, the Maui local was a sponsored skateboarder growing.

After the mishap, Strong didn’t believe he’d get a skateboard once again, not to mention contend at any level. It took some motivation from Jon Comer, the very first expert skateboarder with a prosthetic limb, to get Strong to get his board once again.

“Jon Comer really set the example. He called me when I was in the hospital after my leg was amputated,” Strong stated. “He asked if I thought I wanted to skate again, and I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Well, what do you want to do?’ I said, ‘If I could ever just skate a mini ramp again, I’d be the happiest,’” Strong remembered.

“Jon said, ‘Oh, you’ll definitely get that. What else?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ll totally be able to skate a mini ramp.’ I was one week in, still in the ICU, and a professional skater just calls me up and basically gave me permission to rip. He was truly an athlete before his time.”

Comer passed away in December 2019; Strong mentions him as one of the most prominent figures in his own competitive skateboarding profession, in addition to Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale, creators of the not-for-profit Adaptive Action Sports.

Strong fulfilled Gale simply 2 years after his mishap, when he was 20. Purdy and Gale contributed in getting adaptive occasions contributed to the X Games and Winter Dew Tour programs. Now, in 2021, adaptive skateboarding lastly discovers a house on the Dew Tour.

Through his own deal with Adaptive Action Sports, Strong’s objective is to reveal other adaptive professional athletes what Comer, Purdy and Gale had the ability to reveal him—that sports, and competitive sports, stay on the table after their mishaps.

“I’ve been super passionate about their mission statement because people like that picked me up after my amputation,” Strong stated. “After I had the ability to stand back up, after having that near-death experience, to be able to fulfill someone who’s existed, due to the fact that of Daniel and Amy Purdy and Adaptive Action Sports I’ve had the ability to get in touch with a lot of of these people: young, old, young boy, woman, veterans.

“I’ve been able to see the magic of getting out with your buddies and having a good time playing outside and see people come out of this shell-shocked place after their accident and come to life.”

The guys’s park adaptive skateboarding field is the inmost of the 3 Dew Tour occasions, at 13; the ladies’s street field consists of 6 skaters and the guys’s street last functions 12.

The guys’s park occasion includes other well-known adaptive skateboarders Felipe Nunes of Brazil, who is a double amputee, and Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham of the U.S., whose wheelchair techniques regularly go viral.

Sunday, adaptive skateboarding debuts at Dew Tour. In the Los Angeles 2028 Games, it might be an Olympic discipline. If he’s still actively contending at that time—and offered his extreme training and healthy way of life, Strong believes he’s in much better shape now at 34 than he has actually remained in the past—Strong is positive that he might medal in that occasion. And that’s not all he has in his sights.

An devoted web surfer maturing in Maui, Strong has actually likewise contended in several adaptive browse competitors. As browsing makes its Olympic launching in the 2021 Tokyo Games together with skateboarding, adaptive browsing might likewise quickly be on the program—maybe by the L.A. 2028 Paralympics.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to envision the naturally talented professional athlete might contend in 3 various Paralympic sports by the time his competitive profession has actually concluded.

For now, nevertheless, Strong is concentrated on the chance in front of him—the opportunity to when again contend in skateboarding medal occasions.

“The field is growing; I think this might be one of the biggest adaptive fields for a skate contest in history,” Strong stated. “There’s strength in numbers, and I’m only as strong as my sport.”

To grow adaptive skateboarding, potentially at a Paralympic level, “we need lots of nations,” Strong stated. “You’ve got to to find someone who has a permanent physical disability that can then get access to a skateboard and a place to ride it, so things like this [Dew Tour] and seeing the numbers of competitors grow is huge, because without that, we’re not here.”

“While adaptive skateboarding isn’t currently an official Paralympic support, Toyota has been, and remains committed to be, an active supporter of Paralympic athletes and adaptive sports,” DeLilli stated. “We are excited to be a part of Dew Tour’s first-ever adaptive skateboard competition.”

It’s all been leading up to this, and while Strong assisted prepare for adaptive skateboarding’s addition at Dew Tour, he likewise believes its timing is serendipitous—particularly as the occasion exists by Toyota, and he’s now a Team Toyota professional athlete.

“I’m in the right place at the right time” Strong stated. “In Hawaii, we’d call it mana.”
