Chumpy fastest again

Wednesday, 22nd February 2012

Australia’s reigning World Champion Alex “Chumpy” Pullin was again the fastest man on the mountain, qualifying for back-to-back snowboard cross World Cup finals in Stoneham, Canada, today.

However, a small error on the last turn, about 50 metres from the finish while running in second place in the six-man final, forced the Australian Institute of Sport / NSW Institute of Sport rider back to sixth place.
