MANITOBA WATER SKIER DEFIES HIGH WINDS

Immediate Release
August 11, 1997
Dinsdale Park

Canadian National Junior Team member Sabrina Dobel (Winnipeg, MB) defied the
strong winds and placed 2nd in both her events. Weather conditions did not
cooperate with the skiers as personal best performances were held to a
minimum. Dobel is sitting in a strong second position in both the slalom and
trick events with the jump remaining. Jumping is Dobel's strongest event.

RECORDS MAY FALL
The tournament officials decided to move the women's jump event to tomorrow
due to extreme wind conditions. This sets the stage for a very exciting day
tomorrow at the site. Both the men's and women's jump events will take place
Where there are many opportunities for Canadian Records to be set. Watch for
Ryan Dodd (AB); Jenna Mielzynski (ON); Marie-Josee Cardinal (ON); Clint
Baikie (BC) and Frankie Wedd (BC). Any of these skiers has the opportunity
to set new Canadian records for their respective divisions.

Tuesday's schedule:	Men slalom		8:00 AM
				Women jump	11:15 AM
				Men jump		1:30 PM
