Racing got off to a flying start this week in Sun Peaks. With a ton of support from the Sun Peaks Alpine Club and Sun Peaks Resort, BC Alpine hosted its 2nd annual FIS Coaches Cup event. We believe this was the first race held in North America for the 2018-19 season. It is also the first time in Canadian history that an ROC has been able to successfully complete two full 2-run FIS races for each gender in one day! This has never been done before and may change the way we run races in North America.
The field consisted of over 150 competitors from 10 different countries – Canada, USA, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Spain. Now officially a tradition at this event, winners love landing on the podium to receive the gourmet chocolate, sausage and cheese prizes!
An incredible group of brave and skilled volunteers stepped up to make this extremely ambitious race format possible. BC Alpine wishes to thank Tammy Anderson, Assistant Timer; Bruce Holliday, Chief of Course; Alain Cordonier, Course Worker; Beckett Hooton, Course Worker; Clark Hooton, Course Worker; Duncan Currie, Course Worker; Garry van Soest, Course Worker; Kieran Gaul, Course Worker; Liam Applegath, Course Worker; Murray Smith, Course Worker; Yuro Ihns, Course Worker; Daimion Applegath, Course Worker; Brad Keats, Finish Referee; Sandy Kersey, Hand Timer; Karyn Molder, Hand Timer; Sandy Holliday, Race Admin; Christina van Soest, Start Referee; Barb Kupferschmidt, Starter; Gavin Friskie, Timing; Keven Dubinsky, Chief of Timing AND last, but not least, Chief or Race extrordinaire Graham Cope!
"I really enjoy the camaraderie among coaches, athletes and officials at this event, said Cope. "With an ambitious schedule of two races per day, everyone has to work together, and the growing race entry is proof of its popularity with coaches and athletes. "
