Slováci na majstrovstách sveta v skialpinizme,
Andora – Canillo „Tlaky v Andore“!
Svetový skialpinizmus zavítal do malého kniežatstva, v Pyrenejách medzi Francúzskom
a Španielskom, bezcolnej zóne, v Andore.
MS v Andore – Canillo, dnes začalo svoju súťažnú časť vertikálnym pretekom s hromadným
štartom. V štartovom poli sme mali 4 pretekárov. Slovenských juniorov zastupovali
Simona Triznová a Marek Litvaj. V kategórii „espoir“ do 23 rokov, to boli Michal Jokl
a Juro Laštík.
Trať vertikálu bola vcelku položená, o čom svedčí aj dĺžka trate 6 km
pri prevýšení 880 m. Juniori štartovali z polovice seniorského preteku,
z Riba Escorxsada (2070m.n.m) so spoločným cieľom so seniormi na vrchole Tossal
de la Llosada (2560m.n.m). Seniori štartovali zo strediska El Tarter vo výške (1680 m.n.m).
Naši pretekári neudávali tempo ani v jednej z kategórii, no nestratili sa v hĺbke štartového
poľa, čo platí najmä o junioroch. Simonka zvládla svojich 490+ metríkov a prišla na peknom
10. mieste. Marek Litvaj pri svojej premiére vo veľkom svete svetového skialpinizmu
obsadil 10. miesto, čo je v silnej konkurencii výborný výsledok.
Michal Jokl a Juro Laštík zaostali určite aj za svojím očakávaním a predbežne v kategórii
do 23 rokov obsadili 18. a 20. miesto.
Dnes sa opať ukázalo, že svet nás nebude čakať, veľmi sa vyšvihli Slovinci, Česi nás tiež
porazili. MS v Andore ešte len začali, pred sebou máme voľný deň, potom sa budú rozdávať
karty v pretekoch jednotlivcov. Dnes našu výpravu ešte čaká otvárací ceremoniál. Zajtra
nás čaká prehliadka trate preteku jednotlivcov. Držte palce!
