Competition Day 4- Junior K1 Men's Quarter Finals
Today the Junior Men did their quarter final rides. The
boys stepped up the quality, intensity, and the scores in a big way. Three
of them had one ride that was higher than any two rides combined in prelims!
I am impressed with their ability to make things happen when it counts.
Richard Grimes from Great Britain has now won two rounds in a row and
is showing some real talent. Pat Keller had one ride over 200 points that
was steller and is coming on strong. Michael Quinif had two solid rides
with some awesome entry moves, but they were short with flushes each time,
but still good enough for third. There are now 10 Junior men in the semi-finals.
That will cut to 5 tomorrow, and then the head to head finals will determine
the next junior world champion!
