Ricardo Adarraga third
podium in Switzerland
Ricardo Adarraga: "It was an incredible weeks. Mental work, physical and
material, and the new brand of wax has been rewarded. With each piece and
leaves me feeling better. I had a personal duel with my friend Klaus
Schrottshammer of Austria. We always 1 km above him or me and we each
sleeve empujábamos more. Schrottshammer that has secured the third
position leaves the feeling that you can reach the stars. I am very
pleased by Klaus. In the final gust of wind threw a bit of powdery snow on
top of the track. This made it down to 207 while kph my loss tables to the
ground. To avoid a greater evil had to drive with your hands to stay on
track. This probably has cost me between 4 and 5 kmh and so I was just
207.7 km / h. But anyway, I can not complain, a week ago I had not
imagined that it would be a little disappointed to be classified in the
twelfth Masters! I downloaded 3 times to over 200 km / h and I had the
honor of being one of the first 29 runners starting from almost the top of
the trail of Montfort. "
The competition was won by Italian Simone Origone, which also set a new
track record (216.83 mph). In women, once again won the Swedish Sanna
Tidstrand with 209.9 km / h. Adarraga finally won its first trophy in the
Swiss Confederation Cup speed skiing reaching third place with 201.78 kmh,
"As my mother Switzerland Switzerland ski federation speed gave me the
opportunity to participate in the National Cup Switzerland reserved
Switzerland. Switzerland is a great ski speed. Be the third in Switzerland
is something for me that is almost as much value as the record for Spain.
Sharing the podium no less than Philippe Moret and Jonathan May, two of
the five men who have passed the 250 km / h is a great honor for me.

An interesting comment:
Ricardo was talking, after the event, to the world champion Hembel (alias
"mad cow") . He had his 3 years old son, Gorka, on
addressing to the champion exclaimed:
I'm the best. To this the champion, addressing to Ricardo, graciously
responded : That's a good start. He will go far.
Certificate.
(FSV recognises as “official” record only speeds measured in
competition by runners classified for the corresponding run (manga), that
is, the speeds of “forerunners” are not registered. In
Spain ski speed is not regulated by an
official body)
Speed Ski
(information, in Spanish, supplied by email,
by Ricardo Adarraga)
The”
Speed Ski or just “KL” (for Kilometro Lanzado, in Spanish) is a
fascinating sport in which three elements, technique, equipment and skill
are combined at their maximum best. The present world record of 250.70
km/h is held by Frenchman, Phillipe Goitschel.
In Spain we are 2 fanatics of Speed Ski
who have experience in International Competition. We are trying to
interest the “Spanish Federation of Winter Sports” to assist us. Any help,
institutional o sponsorship, would be welcome.
