JUAN CARLOS WINS LATIN AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Juan Carlos Cuglievan (Perú) won the Latin American Water Ski
Championships which were held recently in Apóstoles, Argentina.
The tournament was very well organized by the Argentinean
federation and the lake conditions were very good. There were 70
skiers from 7 Latin American countries (Argentina, Chile, Perú,
Colombia, Brazil, México and the Dominican Republic).
"This is great news!", said Dave Goode. "I first met Juan
Carlos last fall at the 2008 Senior World Championships in Seseña,
Spain.", Goode continues. "Dave Miller introduced us and we
proceeded to set Juan Carlos up on a GOODE 9900SL with PowerShell
5 boots. Juan Carlos adapted very quickly to his new equipment as
is evident by his recent victory!", Goode concludes.
Juan Carlos ran 38' off in the preliminary round and received
the top seed for the finals. In the final round, the two best
scores were 2@38' off and Juan Carlos decided to "play-it-safe"
and aimed for 3 ball and ran 3@38' off to win.
