World Cup #3, Nantahala

The last event  of World Cup took place at Nantahala River, at NOC near Bryson City. Thanks to kindness of our friend Zack and his wife we stayed at his backyard so we didnt need to sleep in forest anymore! All week there were team trainings, we were having them together – Poland, Slovakia Austria and our Spanish and Irish friends. Thanks to Spanish coach who help us with timing at training we could train our runs all the time.

 Competition started at Friday,  i made it to quarterfinals from 7th place, Tomo was 11th and Peter again took 1st. Scores to make it to quarterfinals were sick again, you needed  1065pts for 20th place!  On the same day i had also squirt prelims – where i came 5th making it to finals on Sunday.  Saturday were quarterfinals with also really high bar, 1450 points for top 10! Peter and I made it through and after only 2 hours break we had another round. Unfortunetly i ended up at 9th place but Peter made it again staying on the lead. In evening we had really nice party from kokotat with some loterry and great band providing us alot of fun!

Sunday were finals, i started in squirts and missed medal by just a little bit ending u pat 4th place behind Tomasz Cz. Nina in her finals made it to 4th place, gold was taken by Claire O’hara with insane run of 668 pts! Great Job there! But the biggest entertainment was provided by Mens again, all rides were awesome,  Nick Troutman set bar really high with his first run to 970 but Peter respond was short and clear – 1246pts! He stayed in the lead till last run of Dane where he kick the bar to 1316pts! But when i seen Peters face i knew that he’s not giving away 3rd gold and his ride was just crazy! He did nearly every move possible scoring 1538 pts! Great performance of his was awarded wit 3rd win in World Cup making him overall champion! There was small ending ceremony afterwards. After  it most of people left home or for Gauley Festival.. We went back to our place to celebrate and chill with friends and prepare for leaving at Tuesday.
