Do all the juniors ski again today or is it just the top 8?

Disappointing that Charlie Ross skied with no commentary. Not sure what happened there. It would be helpful if the speed and line length would show up on the screen so we could at least know what's going on. I guess TWBC has us spoiled.

I agree with @MattP It would be great if there was an option for visitors to ski who aren't competing in nationals. Maybe some of the owners on the lakes that aren't being used will pull skiers? My son will be competing and if I come there to watch in person, I sure would love to get a set (or 2 or 3) in while I'm there! Happy to pay for gas or work in exchange for ski pulls. :-)

I have found that flex tape can fix anything. It works great for binding repairs and holds up really well in the water! https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Tape-Rubberized-Waterproof-Black/dp/B01N5Q3G8H/ref=asc_df_B01N5Q3G8H/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198096571354&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18254013090230581059&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028256&hvtargid=pla-348805449026&th=1

@bojans I am curious about the same. I still think it's incredibly sad how Nautique treated Jacinta Carol when she broke the record behind a different boat. I think all athletes should try their best on any given day no matter who they are sponsored by and the sponsors should support the world record-breaking accomplishments of their athletes no matter what. That's my two cents.

My son attended an A&M recruitment weekend as well and he thought it was awesome. I see more schools are offering this opportunity now so he plans to attend a few school weekends before making a final decision. So far he has only attended the A&M weekend but he was highly impressed and is leaning towards going there as a result. He loved everyone on the ski team, as well as the university so it gave him a really good glimpse into what college life is like there.

Yes! Thank you TWBC!!!

@EM_. Thank you for this insight. My kid wants to go pro and is asking to go to all these various record tournaments around the US and in other countries and I am not able to afford it at this time. The talent and scores are there, but the money is not. Hopefully, all the new social media coverage and Youtube coverage of the sport will bring in more sponsors. I've never been outside of the US (outside of Canada) so WOW, $70 flights? That at least sounds promising.

I too would like to understand how these athletes can afford all this travel. Are sponsors paying for any of it or do they literally have to absorb all the costs and pray for a win to at least get a little bit of money back?

Chelsea Mills needs to be added to the list as well!

https://www.youtube.com/live/1_zPzPZCC6k?feature=share I found the tournament and it is on a different channel than last year in case anyone is interested.

Will this tournament be live-streamed? If so, can someone share the link? I'm hoping it will be on the same Youtube channel as last year, but I can't find mention of it so far. https://www.youtube.com/@juniorcanadianopenwaterski

Never mind. It's working now!

Where is the link to the live feed? The link on the waterski pro tour page is not working.

I loved it and wished it was longer and went into more detail! I do agree with the above comments that a quick montage of all 3 events and some wild crashes, in the beginning, would get people's attention right away. Excellent job and I can't wait to see more films like this.
