HEAT #8
- Bruna Kajiya – 27.43
- Annelous Lammerts – 25.1
- Paula Novotna – 19.9
- Rita Arnaus – 13.27
The second heat saw Annelous Lammerts and Bruna Kajiya find themsevles against each other again and it went down to the last trick for the win which Bruna grabbed with a huge 8.4 scoring slim chance to seal first place. She is likely very relieved as Annelous rode a great heat and only had one crash meaning the girls will meet again in the final.
Paula Novotna did not get off to the best startt but then came back with a gutsy and big 8 point scoring s-bend to blind which she absolutely stomped in the strong winds and which bought her biefly back into contention, but she needed another strong last trick but a gust during her last attempt pulled her off balance and she was unable to complete the trick she wanted but managed to secure third and a joint 5th with Hannah Whiteley for the competition.
Rita Arnaus had a heat she would likely rather forget but she rode the strong winds with a smile on her face as the gusts threw her around and made completing her tricks almost impossible.
Not to be beaten she finished with a strong s-bend to blind to show the crowds that she more than deserved her place in the semis but it was not enough to improve her position.
