Women’s Kayak Prelim Results in!

January 27, 2005

The women started things off and Tanya Shuman hit the
water in the first heat, and killed it on her first run leading the women
all of the way to the end!

The biggest story of the day was actually a very sad
one. Tanya Faux, who lives and trains here, and has been scaring the begeebees
out of the other women in practice, consistently getting loops, blunts,
lots of ends, clean blunts, and more, had two very, very poor rides (for
her) and missed the first cut. She had the most pressure, the biggest
cheering section (all of the Aussies), and the biggest chance of winning
based on practice, and somewhere in her head it didn’t equate to good
competition rides on that day. To make matters worse, they announced her
score wrong at first and had to correct, giving her some false hope, even
though she knew the moment her second ride was over that she was in trouble.
The whole competition will have a different feel since now the women will
be competing with out the big local hitter. I am very sorry to see Tanya
out of this competition.
