FWT 2020-21
In a world full of 'Rona, face-melting skiing also melts the viiiiirus. Science!
FWT just dropped their trailer for the 2021 season - time to FIRE IT UP
Venues are the same as 2018, 2019, and 2020 - Hakuba, Kicking Horse, Vallnord-Arcalis, Fieberbrunn, Verbier.
But....there is a NEW FORMAT. OMG!!!!!!!!
Looks like Sam "the Ibex" Lee is back. Same with Craig Murray. Sweet!1. Athlete qualification will occur at the third stop (instead of the fourth), making the Ordino Arcalís Andorra ‘crunch time’ for the athletes. The same numbers still go through as 2020 (best 2 results out of 3 events counts): 13 ski men, 6 ski women, 6 snowboard men, 4 snowboard women – totalling 29 riders.
2. Two runs in Austria. After a successful test last year with snowboard men, riders this year will get two runs in Fieberbrunn and keep their single best score.
3. The FWT Finals in Fieberbrunn and Verbier will be rolled out after the cut, where for the last two events, the points will be weighted 1.5. This means the winner will take 15,000 points, compared to 10,000 for the first three stops.
4. World Champions will now be crowned for their best three results out of five.
I hope Yuuuuuge is back.
Ari Tricomi and Carl Renvall had a segment in Matchstick's new movie "skiing" the Bec. Cool to see them getting some exposure. Especially the three-peat world champ.
Dunno about anyone else. FWT's "Riders" page only has Kiwis listed. dafuq?
