9th for Last, 10th for Bennett in Andorra
Tom Last (England Freestyle Ski Team, Line Skis and Smith Goggles)
led the way for the British at the recent Europa Cup finals in Andorra
(21-24 March).
Tom (17 years old) achieved a magnificent ninth place - the best
by a non-French skier - in the halfpipe and tenth place in the slope
style out of 38 of Europe's best New Scool skiers. This was nearly
matched by British Team Skier Andy Bennett (Fat Face, Line Skis
and Hestra) who placed tenth in the slopestyle and twelfth in the
halfpipe.
Great season for British team
The top ten results for Andy and Tom follow a great season of victories
and top 3 placings for the pair in competitions around Europe
and the USA. British Development Team Skier Chris David (25)
was the best placed mogul skier, narrowly missing out of a finals
placing after finishing eighteenth.
