Australia and Wing Wetsuits Skier Dominate Worlds




Wing Wetsuits tournament water skier Tim Bradstreet over the last two months has picked up a Silver at the World Titles and two Gold medals at the Under 21 World Titles.
The Australian Under 21 team came third overall out of a field of 29 nations.
Some strong performances from Tim Bradstreet and Jacinta Carroll helped Australia finish so strongly.
Bradstreet took out the mens jump event with a jump of 67.3 metres, 3.9 metres ahead of the next best competitor. This huge jump along with a solid trick and slalom score gave him first place overall.
Carroll's leap of 54.4 metres in womens jump was more than enough to give her first place, beating the rest of the field by over 4 metres. Her strong performances in trick and slalom gave her second place overall.
Bradstreet's rise to the top has not just been in the under 21 ranks, his performance at the World Titles in Russia last July put a strong message out the seasoned veterans that the next generation is coming. Bradstreet and Carroll came second in mens and womens jump respectively. Bradstreet jumped 67.5 metres and was only beaten by world record holder Freddy Krueger while Carroll's jump of 50.8 metres was beaten by less than half a metre.
Congratulations to all the Aussie team skiers
