Allison Forsyth put a season of frustration behind her on Thursday, winning the bronze medal at the Alpine Ski World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Forsyth sat second going into the final run and held on for the bronze behind race winner Anja Paerson, of Sweden and runner up Denise Karbon, of Italy. Paerson was head and shoulders above the field, winning in a two run time of two minutes, 30.97 seconds. The Canadian Alpine Ski Team racer was 1.79 seconds behind.

This program is designed to highlight a series of athletes – coaches – officials and 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!
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. The next one is coming up soon – February 18, 2003.
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.
BC Alpine encourages and welcomes pictures of the nominated individual. If you can provide a picture, please email the photo to Sue-Lynda Bate (no larger than 250kb @ 72DPI, please)

On a sunny, calm day with great snow, Windermere Valley's Christina Lustenberger gave it all she had and more to take home fourth place in the women's super-G.
“She took all the chances and put it all on the line.” said head coach Nancy Jo O'Neill. “Lusti trusted herself and her strong GS skills and gave a little to get a lot. She made the neessary adjustments to work this couse.” said O'Neill. “We're very proud of her.”
A huge thank-you to Mike Lindsey for his assistance with Lustenberger skiis in the start hut. Also thanks to Jordan Williams, Mike Neccesanek, Chris Mosaed and Read Phillips for their help with course reports.
