Next single elimination finished

Yesterday it was again windy in Lanzarote. The conditions were worse than the day before but it was still constant wind so we could easily finished another single elimination.

I was on my 5.6. In the first heat I was against Eric Sanllehy, rider from Catalonia. I did all my moves and won that heat. Unfortunately in the next round I was against Kiri Thode. Kiri was really looking forward to advance few round and make a better result then in the past elimination. I knew against him I have to to everything what I can. It was a hard heat because the wind was dropping. I did my heat quite clean but Kiri sailed amazing and did moves like Burner Diablo, Chachoo into Culo, double spock or Kono. I couldn’t stop him. In the single elimination I finished 9th.

Everyone on the beach started to wonder if anyone can stop the young rider form Bonaire. Kiri won all the heats and he met Gollito Estredo in the final. Gollito started with awesome ponch diablo and a technical combination. Kiri replied with an eslider into puneta cana brava. After the heat was over it was a clear decision for the judges: 7:0 in favor of Gollito.

The loosers final was a big surprise where Andre Paskowski, who eliminated Marcilio Browne in the earlier round, was against Normen Gunzlein who after a controversial heat re sail beat Ricardo Campello. Andre started very well but after a while Normen took the leading position with and spock into Culo, one handed shaka cana brava and kept the advantage till the end of the heat. Andre finished four what was a really good result concerning the level here in Lanzarote.

Results:

1.       Gollito Estredo

2.       Kiri Thode

3.       Normen Gunzlein

4.       Andre Paskowski

Today the plan is to start another double elimination. For sure it will be a round full of surprises as few riders have a chance to still win the event. I will try to keep the 9th position and maybe jump few places up in the overall classification.
