Career-best World Cup finish for Kiwi freeskier

By Paul Taylor

Freeskier Luca Harrington finished in fourth place in an incredibly heavy hitting FIS Slopestyle World Cup over the weekend, marking a career best performance for the young Kiwi.

Right after the event the Wanaka 19 -year-old said: “Honestly, it’s amazing, I am unbelievably happy to have finished in fourth place.

“I can’t believe I am even here skiing against some of these guys that I have looked up to my whole life, now to be here with them and contending with them is pretty amazing.”

In what was a stacked final, consisting of the majority of the world’s best slopestyle skiers, Harrington laced together a technical first run scoring an impressive 92.00. His run included a textbook left double 1440 safety grab into a right double 1800 lead stale grab on the second and third jumps. Harrington then had a nail-biting wait, sitting in podium position for just over half the competition. With just a few skiers left to drop into their final runs, Harrington got bumped down into fourth position by two decorated skiers.

Jesper Tjader(Sweden) took the top spot, with Evan McEachran (Canada) second and Birk Ruud (Norway) third.

Harrington’s teammate Ruby Star Andrews (Queenstown, 18) was competing in the women’s Slopestyle finals in Silvaplana, finishing in a very respectable ninth position.

Andrews said: “I am happy with my second run, it’s nice to put down a run at the final competition of the season. The level was super high, all the girls killed it and I am happy to have made finals landed a solid run.”

This marks the end of a monumental competition season for Harrington and Andrews, who both recorded career best performances at both World Cup and World Championship level this Northern Hemisphere season. Meanwhile, just over the border in Austria, Kiwi Para Alpine Ski Racer Adam Hall was competing in his final race of the season, the European Cup Slalom Finals, where he claimed the silver medal.

Finn Bilous was set to drop into the Freeride World Tour Verbier Extreme finals, but the event was postponed by poor weather.

There were also some great results for Kiwi Snow Sports NZ Development athletes, with the snowboarders Cam Melville Ives (Wanaka, 16) and Lucia Georgalli (Wanaka, 16) claiming two gold medals at the World Rookie Tour Halfpipe and Slopestyle finals. Read more about the results on the LWB website.
