Season Finale

They say the best is saved till last, well that certainly was the case with the final World Inline Cup race for the 2008 season. The Berlin WIC marathon was spectacular. With good weather this year there were spectators lining the streets of Berlin to see thousands upon thousands of skaters zoom or in some cases roll by. There was actually live coverage on a Berlin TV station which could be viewed by those awaiting the skaters at the finish line. There was atmosphere, crowds, thousands of skaters and press.


The Bont Wheels Team finished off a successful season with Cecilia winning in Berlin, myself 5th, Alexandra 6th and Tamara 15th.


The team also took out the top 3 in the World Inline Cup Individual Overall Ranking. Cecilia the overall WIC Champion, myself 2nd and Alexandra 3rd. Tamara who sacrifices herself in a lot of the races by doing the initial long lead out finished in the top 10 ending up 7th overall.
