Goood afternoon everybody. Welcome along from Putao for the 15th time for the UAFA championship. Today We are racing at Eastern Himalayn Course for the first time,it is the UAFA championship. 15 years of the this Championship was celebrated and we can come back to the old school round, for the round 1 for the 15th UAFA championship to take place in Myanmar at one of the oldest mountain ranges. What a glorious place this is to come and visit and also come and watch a Frostboarding race tinged always ofcourse.
The track today we are following has some tragic memories of 2031 and the tragic loss of Vanguon Jinga and the accident which also affected the other racers.
The track is way diffrent now though, 30 kms, also first time ever in the Himalayas today we have a clear weather. We have minimum of 108 obstacles in all 5 courses and all 3 parts of the race.
Last race at this same part of the 4th course Justin Grifor lost his Ballance and was out of the race in the start.
Three boosts for today's race. Each at the start of new part of the race.
Here is the grid for today's match.
First course team for today is Kandy Wombats and they are starting out with
Ranawakkage Gunasekera followed by Silva Bandara and then ending it out with Wajira Wipulasara.Second course it is Tokoyo Mariners last season's champion's. Today they are starting out with Santonio D'antonio.
Followed by their course Cristina Leon.
And ending it all out isntheir captain Shinjiro Yamsaru.Just beside Mariners itnis the Seoul White Tigers last year ending up in top 5.
For the start we have Kim Jin woo
For the course they have their captain Park yoon seok and ending it with Fabiano Vasconcelos Bueno.Beside them on the 4th course we have Moscow Ice burgs last season's runner's up.
Starting it out with the same lineup as last time
We have the captain Cesário Sapateiro.
Followed by one of the seasoned course Zholdin Zakhar and ending it out with one of the youngest Finishers Darío García.And for the last team for today on the fifth course we have Turkey Red Hens.
Starting out with Atul Singh their substitute start trying him out this time because of last year's disappointing time by their original start. Followed by Arlo Castro and their finisher Augusto Lopes.Now the lineups are over the Start's have taken their places. 3....2.....1.. AND THE LIGHTS ARE OUT the boost are outttt.
Santonio takes the boost perfectly and moves forward magnificently and takes the lead over all of them, closely followe by Kim Jin woo. They have finally reached above the part of obstacles. Mariners are still in the lead with Santonio skillfully dodgeing thoes hurdles jumping over them. Now for the course 5 the Hens are seeing pretty good progress with their new starter dodging out some of the lower hurdles with some difficulty but his speed. He just neck to neck with Santonio. ANDDD FINALY ATUL takes over Santonio, followed by Cesário Sapateiro.
They are reaching the end line of the first part of race and reaching their course and SANTONIO FINALLY TAKES OVER ATULLL AS ATUL MAKES A SECOND LATE FOR THAT JUMP AND CESÀRIO TAKES OVER ATUL THE HENS ARE AGAIN STARTING TO FAIL THEIR START.
AS THEY REACH THE COURSE ONE OF THE MOST VICIOUS PART OF THE START COMES THE VALLEY RAMP. AS ANTONIO LEAPS FORWARD FOR IT HE TAKES THE STEP FORWARD TO INCREASE HIS SPEED. CESÀRIO FOLLOWS TIGHTLY BEHIND HIM JUMPING OVER THE HURDLES AND DODGING THE TREE ROOTS. ATUL AND JIN WOO TIGHTLY FOLLOWS BEHIND HIM. AS THE RAMP APPROACHES ALL OF THEM RACERS TRY TO increase their speed so they can have a quick way towards the valley end, if someone missed the ramp it can turn out pretty bad and cause death. AND CESÁRIO takes over the ramp before Antonio and shows how a captain can take lead for his team when needed. Antonio follows with a high but flat jump just below him. Atul and Jin woo take their jumps higher. We can still se Ranawakkage Lacking behind and just getting near the ramp. He is trying his hard to catch-up with them and take the speed.
