Apologies to all our World Cup fans as we will not have a Webcast this weekend. Access to an onsite Broadband connection is the major challenge at some locations !
Competitors from 15 countries used the practice time available today in Doha Qatar to prepare for the Friday and Saturday final Waterski and Wakeboard World Cup Stop of the season. In perfect weather 28C conditions under clear blue Gulf skies, the competition MasterCraft boat was launched at 09.00hrs and practice continued till 17.00hrs as the sun set behind the spectacular and every changing Doha skyline.
Those athletes on the warm emerald green Diplomatic Club Canal World Cup site today included Chris Parrish USA, Jaret Llewellyn CAN, Nicolas Le Forestier FRA, Olivier Fortamps BEL, Thomas Degasperi ITA, Nick Parsons USA, Jodi Fisher GBR, Harley Clifford AUS, Clementine Lucine FRA, Ageliki Andriopoulou GRE, Mandy Nightingale USA and Alex Lauretano USA. As many have not competed on salt water for some time, all were impressed with the conditions and are now ready for their last World Cup challenge of 2008.
World Cup early arrivals
