Tristan Cardillo. Get used to that name. In the morning he cruised to a win in the Juniors, and then in the afternoon he won the Opens final against a heavy-weight Brazilian trio; Carlos Paixão, Thiago Lessa, and the young and up-and-coming Pepe Laporte. This wasn't a Bradbury victory - Tristan mixed it with the big boys and overtook them all with no lucky break.
Except...in the semi-finals Tristan hit the hay in the final corner, and crossed the line fourth. But he protested, and the video evidence was clear enough; Vašek Čvančara of Czechia's attempted overtake on the inside had almost, but not quite, been completed before Vašek sent Tristan into the hay. The protest upheld, Vašek was relegated to the consi, and Tristan advanced into the Brazilian Storm.
With this win, a third-place in the Opens at King's Gate, and a 17th at Kozakov, the 17-year-old Tristan might just be the new Euro King.
Earlier in the day Lyde Begue of France won the Women's race in a close-fought final over Melissa Brogni of Brazil, Cassandra Duchesne of Canada and Giulia Bottazin of Italy.
Uldis Tretmanis of Mexico, the youngest 54-year old in the world, won the Masters after hot-favorite Nicolas Desmarais copped a shove in one of the earlier corners that put him in fourth with too much of a gap to make up.
The lugers voted to run a Grand prix style finals; three rounds of all six riders on the track at once, and with the results of each round determining the poll position of the following round. It made for close racing, and in the final it was a little too close, with Konstantin Weigl disqualified for a shove on Ryan Farmer. In the end it was Canadian Kolby Parks who took the win, his pale Canadian shoulders badly sunburnt from a day off at the beach yesterday.
