Fortnight Awards Have Arrived
This is a program designed to highlight a series of athletes – coaches – official/volunteers who go that extra mile. These stand-out individuals can be anyone who has contributed to ski racing in British Columbia. They can be an athlete, coach or an official/volunteer and they will now be recognized every two weeks – one fortnight!
There are no hard set rules to follow, except that the athlete, coach, official and volunteer has gone above and beyond the call of duty and is deserving of recognition. Going above and beyond may be an act of good citizenship, a brilliant athletic performance on or off snow or whatever you deem worthy of recognition. BC Alpine will leave the nominating and the reasoning up to you and we will pick the most deserving individual from each category for that fortnight.
Nominations will be compiled at the beginning of each week and the athlete, coach, official and volunteer of the Fortnight will be announced every second Tuesday to coincide with the Bell Mobility Alpine Update.
There are four categories a person can be nominated in:
Athlete of the Fortnight
Coach of the Fortnight
Official of the Fortnight
Volunteer of the Fortnight
BC Alpine encourages and welcomes pictures of the nominated individual. If you can provide a picture, please email the photo to Sue-Lynda (no larger than 250kb @ 72DPI)
FORTNIGHT AWARD WINNERS JANUARY 6-19
Cortina Carries Forsyth to Eighth
Cortina has always been one of Allison Forsyth's favourite courses. And it didn't let the 24-year-old down on Sunday, as Forsyth matched her season's best result with an eighth-place finish in the giant slalom.
“I was really happy with the first run, and to be in the top six after the first run. The second run was set a little fast, which was a little discouraging. It was set more like a super G than a GS, but I came in eighth, which is great,” said Forsyth, who feels she is on her way back up from a World Cup season that has not seen her produce the greatest results. Sunday was Forsyth's third top-10 finish on the World Cup this season.
While the second run's set up was not what Forsyth was looking for, it certainly appealed to speedster Genevi
