Photos by Matias Capizzano, more at his fb page. Pre event for Worlds starting next week. – Six qualifying races held till now and reviewing overall scores we are glad to see Billy Besson & Marie Riou going for it.
Same for Thomas Zajac (Bronze Rio) who was out on an injury and now is back in form.
The US Panamerican Gold medalists Riley Gibbs & Anna Weis finding speed once more. USA is already qualified same as Australia. The Aussie slot was grabbed by the Outteridges, but who will represent AUS is not defined yet, as Waterhouse & Darmanin are about the consistent top 4 out there. Still this is a pre event, the real competition will be Worlds.
