GS WORLD CHAMPION
Jasey Jay Anderson, CAN
Being a World Champion means everything! I've been having a rough season so far, just trying to get started. I changed coaches quite a few times, and because of that I haven't trained as much as I would have liked to. I spent most of my time trying to find someone who could work for me and getting to the races. Also trying to figure out where I was situated, what technique I should do 'cause people've been giving me different ways of riding. Basically I've come back to what I learned for my best years with my old coach Jerry Masterpool. It's just a matter of gattling along and making sure they are giving me the right information. There's not much snow here in Europe but the race source is always good, it's been really good snow for the racing. I prefer slopes that are not icy but quite hard, man-made snow mixed with natural cold snow. Now I'm heading towards Salzburg to see a concert with a friend and tomorrow I'm leaving for Canada, there're some races back home in Canada!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLY CROWND WORLD CHAMPION!

4th after the first run and top-favorite

Well, I failed in the upper part, and as I'm used to, I gave full speed after that failure. In the end it was not enough, especially in such a strong field of opponents! I'm looking forward to the end of this season because all this stress is still tense on my leg. I haven't fully recovered from my injury in the past autumn yet, and I still have to take it a bit slow!

My first run was great, I could really push it through. So I went totally relaxed into my second run which actually didn't turn out that good, but in total it was enough. I'm super stoked! This is certainly the most important race, yet the whole tour is more important in terms of the sporty aspects. After all Championships are a one-day-show, and if you are in a bad condition, you are out. For this season I'm trying to achieve a place in the top 3 in the WPT season rankings, and right now it looks quite promising and it works well for me. I'm in a good mood, and my mental power - say, my head - is OK at the moment!
CONGRATS TO THE NEWLY CROWNED WORLD CHAMPION!
