IC Skiing Team excel - at last

Despite a lot of bad luck in the past few races, the IC Ski Team came fighting back last Saturday evening with a strong team performance.

Dan Figueras Niero, Rufina Emo, Nick Hursemax, Alex Cherdel and Xavier Grosliebe travelled up to Hemel Hempstead to participate in the "Huskies" race and achieved some excellent results with some inspired individual efforts.

The race consisted of two individual, timed runs down a slalom course; followed by a team dual slalom. In the individual slalom, Rufina was placed first in her age category despite a blunder by the organisers in believing that we were fielding a male team, and second overall in the ladies with a total time of 35 seconds exactly, whilst Nick was placed second in his category with a time of 33.96s. Furthermore the team won the individual combined slalom event with a total time of 140.68s and were placed second in the team dual slalom. These impressive results are a definite boost to team morale. Keep it up lads and Rufina!
