3 Medals For Ireland
In EAME
Championships
Irish
Representatives
performed well at
the EAME
Championships in
Italy.
Ryan McDonald won
Bronze in Slalom and
Jump, scoring
Personal Bests in
both disciplines and
picked up an Overall
Junior Boys Bronze.
Over the last couple
of seasons
Ryan had skied
little due to a
broken wrist in one
season and a broken
leg in the other
which greatly
reduced his training
which was evident as
he was very tired
for all three
finals. Ryan has
still another year
at junior level so
who knows what might
happen next year!
In addition, he
finished a credible
12th in the Open
Event.
Andy
McDonald made it
through to the Open
Men’s Trick Event
Final with two
Personal best’s and
new Irish records.
In true 'Andy'
fashion he
introduced front to
front 360s after his
familiarisation run
behind the Gekko.
This was two firsts,
number one he had
never seen a Gekko
before and two he
had never tried a
360 on his feet
before! His only
reason for
attempting it was
that he could not
figure out the
rotation rules so
exhaustively
explained by Andy
Harris. He finished
a credible 5th in
the Trick Event and
8th Overall…
( and still
confused- Irish or
what)
