World
Slalom Series
The brand new international
competition tour fully dedicated to Freestyle & speed
slalom, named "World Slalom Series" is now official.
Thanks to the help of many countries organisations and skaters
of the 4 corners of the world, we could organise this common
project, linking all events in a big tour. All events are
welcome, major events as well as average or very small events,
each event has his own place and can let skaters get points
for the World Ranking. Even if the Battle system is more
represented in European events, some will be on the classic
individual system, following the wishes of organisations
and local skaters. The goal of this event is to promote
slalom skating, and give a chance to small organisations
to find more sponsors, and to get used to organise events,
starting with small events, which will attract easier less
experienced skaters to the competition. World Slalom Series
will put into light local initiatives, national and also
international, promoting all slalom events, and also promoting
skaters. World ranking will award the best skaters and those
who are the most involved in slalom. Already on the 2008
schedule, events will be held in Germany, Italy, France,
China, South-Korea, Belgium, Netherlands, UK, Singapore,
..... and even in USA, Australia, and Brazil !!
The events schedule is available on the official website
: http://worldslalomseries.com
and will be updated depending on confirmations and infomation
received from each event organisator. All this wouldn't
be -of course- doable without support of many countries
associations which invest themselves & together daily
in this project. We hope to see a maximum of skaters on
the World Slalom Series events to exchange, have fun and
mostly skate !

WSSA
World Ranking
After several months of work, gatherings files and thinking
with the riders from wssa skaters group (world slalom
skaters association).
The Slalom World Ranking Project is finally out.
The project is to establish a relationship between all
slalom events in the world and of which we receive the
ranking sheets, to show the best and most active skaters
of the moment. Each event is affected with a coefficient
established depending on the importance of the event,
number of entries, level of skaters, place of the event,
organisation experience, past history of the event,...
All the skaters who appeared on the rankings we receive
get points. The total on 12 months is calculated, then
we keep the 4 best results of the year (4 being the most
representative number observing different events and average
travels of the skaters involved in the competitions)
This ranking will be updated every month and will evolve
continuously. From May on, the new competitons will be
added and the competitions until April 2006 will be removed.
Then Each skater can see his ranking going up and down
depending on the latest results.
The latest event which has been taken into account is
the French cup in Toulouse.
The
beijing slalom open was a great success, the skaters did
amazing slalom runs. In the Freestyle Battle, Wang Heng(Chn)
finished first in front of Guo Fang(Chn), second, Igor Cheremetieff

the best skaters to skate against each other and the interest
