CHRISTOPHE FASEL - SUI

Christophe, a multiple plegics MP3 sit skier, had a tremendous season.
He scored at least two buoys at 49kph on the outer, regulation course,
just a few buoys less than the world record at that speed, in five
EuroTour stops, 3 EAME open tournaments and the World Championships. In
tricks, he exceeded the world record more than once (all reduced on
video review) as well as setting an EAME jump record of 20.2 meters. In
the final EuroTour standings, he placed first in overall and second in
tricks and jump. The culmination of his season was his superb overall
victory in the largest and most hotly contested division at the World
Championships in Florida where he also placed first in slalom, second in
tricks and fifth in jump. That was on the water. On land, he served as
Tournament Director at two of the six EuroTour stops, homologated 4
competitions, passed his J1 (Senior Judge) exam - the highest rating,
designed new slalom skis for the disabled and conducted training camps
for the Belgian, German and French ski teams.

slalom records over the summer which have since been approved.
