Home victory at the opening of the international anniversary show in Achleiten! Victoria Max-Theurer won the Grand Prix of the Freestyle Tour with Abegglen FH NRW with 72.696 percent ahead of the Belgian Laurence Roos with Fil Rouge (71.391) and the Swiss Estelle Wettstein on West Side Story (70.782).
"Not our best test, but still definitely above the required Olympic limit," Victoria Max-Theurer summed up and practiced self-criticism. "There were some expensive mistakes in there, the zig-zags alone cost 2 percent, then we didn't catch some transitions one hundred percent and there was also a misunderstanding in the backward straightening. We still have to work on the fine-tuning and we know exactly what homework we still have to do before Tokyo."
Oliver Valenta was happy about 4th place and his personal record score of 68.435 with Valenta's Fantas – and this in front of the prominent jury with the five five-star judges Christof Umbach (LUX), Thomas Lang (AUT), Katrina Wüst (GER), Hans-Christian Matthiesen and Kurt Christensen (both DEN).
