SHANGHAI WELCOMES WORLD CUP WAKEBOARD AND JUMP ATHLETES FROM FORTY COUNTRIES TO BIHAI JINSHA WATER PARK THIS WEEKEND
|
![]() ![]() With close to 90 affiliated Federations, the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) combined forces with the Chinese Water Ski Association and Shanghai Bihai Sands Investment Development, to stage the biggest Cable Wakeboard and Cable Jump event ever. With athletes from 40 countries taking their places, Shanghai audiences will have a unique opportunity to see the very best in the world compete in this 44th IWWF World Cup Stop.
![]() ![]() For Jump, this World Cup Stop is part of the International Tour of Cableski (ITC). With IWWF World Champion Alexander Vasko (SVK) missing through injury, the hot favourite has to be Poland’s Krystof Bernatowicz. Currently in second place in ITC results this year, don’t be surprised if we see distances of over 60m achieved by him. He will be pushed hard by Kamil Borysewicz (POL) and Daniel Maltzahn (GER). For the Women Jumpers, super-star Joulia Meier-Gromyko (BLR) looks unbeatable. She has broken the World Record eleven times. One year ago here in Shanghai she again tied a new World Jump Record of 48.9m with Iryna Turets (BLR) who has returned to take up the challenge. Veronika Cseploova (SVK) is also a strong possibility.
With the Opening Ceremony in Bihai Jinsha Water Park scheduled for Friday October 2nd at 09.00hrs, the programme will continue with Saturday starting at 10.00hrs and Sunday at 09.00hrs. The Closing Ceremony is scheduled to take place on the nearby beachfront Amphitheatre at 15.15hrs.
Temperature of 29C / 84F and sunny skies with possible rain showers are forecasted for the weekend of October 3rd/4th at BiHai JinSha Water Park in Shanghai.
