no juniors in DH .. ????

 

ideal opportunity to provide some experience to the youngsters. If they can get there on their own ticket are they allowed to compete or do they have to be part of the national team...i.e. can someone request to part of the team if they have the requisite points and get there on their own steam?

have to be selected for Junior worlds ... still have to pay your own way though ... CSA doesnt pay.

 

Just heard that Jono Philogene has been added to the Juniors - hope they add his brother Chris too - those two lighties are the next bright sparks for SA downhill. Chris is first year junior and already up on the overalls at Nationals
