Baller skihart Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Speedy recovery Jaret. Amazing athlete. At 45 years old he still finished 3rd in the world and secured team Canada's win. My hat goes off to you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wolfgang Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Has Canada ever won the team title before this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 So how does the scoring work? The US had Gold in W Slm, W Trk, W Ovl, M Slm & M Trk. Canada's only Gold was M Jmp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 @wolfgang Canada has won the Team Overall in 1991, 1993, 1999, 2009, and 2015 @"Mateo Vargas" Not all skiers from each country are on the country's 6 member team. If Anna Gay was on the team over Erika Lang based on this year's placement she would have improved the team score more. Not having Freddy on the team this year was a big loss. Scott filled his spot I believe and ended up 25th in Jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Note: neither Freddy nor Zack (64.0m) skied in the US Team Trials about 5 months ago at Cory's site. Injury maybe? Scot was the only 6 ft. Mens Jumper at the Trials, and bested the next man by 13 feet (223 to 210). In the Worlds Team Points Scoring, the US beat Canada in SL and TR, but was way behind in JU.

Baller aupatking Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Way to go Canada! Sadly another controversial format in water skiing. Congratulations to all who medaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 @aupatking The World Championships is a controversial format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 I believe the format has been around for years. All the teams know the scoring methods in advance and select their teams accordingly. Water skiing has no shortage of dumb controversies, but this isn't one of them.

Baller Edbrazil Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Last time there was a major change in the scoring for the Worlds was when they stopped summing the prelims and finals for individual placement, Austria 1991. For a short while, Overall was a separate event, such as for the 2003 Worlds at Swiss in Clermont, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller andjules Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 If I recall correctly, they ran Overall as a separate event at the PanAms this summer (each overall skier skiing a separate round of each event, specifically for overall scoring).

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted November 23, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted November 23, 2015 Congratulations to Canada! Well done! I was laughing that the announcer kept talking about how cold Indiana is (while Nate was skiing). I was thinking, you know there's a whole TEAM from Canada here, right!? :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrs Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 @Than_Bogan maybe the announcer knows that the Canadians live in Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 @Than_Bogan but which of the team members actually live in Canada? Also not like Nate is not in Indiana very often these days either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted November 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2015 Dislike and disagree all you want but the USA got Gold in 4 out of the six individual events, and one of the 2 Overall Golds. One of the only two individual disciplines the USA didn't get gold, still got Bronze. 62.5% of all Gold medals and Medaling in 75% of events is dominance. I understand that only 6 are "on the team", but how does that make sense? Every skier, worldwide, has the opportunity to qualify for worlds, but you aren't on your country's team? If you're shooting for fairness, its in the process of qualifying at all. Obviously you guys don't agree. No problem with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted November 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2015 @aupatking my disagree is based on the fact that the rules have been this way as long as I can remember (many decades). Nothing controversial about it. This is a "give your self a Panda and don't worry about it" sort of thing.
