WWS Update for Pro Overall Skiers

Despite challenging slalom conditions today, we witnessed some incredible skiing. However, due to strong wind gusts and the cancellation of the jump event, WWS has decided to move all 9 pro skiers directly to the finals on Sunday to ensure the best and fairest conditions. This sets the stage for an epic showdown, where athletes and fans alike will experience the competition at its peak!

With high winds expected on Saturday, the finals have been rescheduled to Sunday, starting at 9:00 AM with jump, followed by slalom, and concluding with tricks.

The traditional overall format—slalom, trick, jump—will challenge skiers to adjust their strategies as they fight for the ultimate title. This promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the WWS Overall Tour, and we can’t wait to see these athletes deliver their best in the final battle!

Come join us in the Red Bull tent to relax with appetizers and drinks while watching the action unfold, and meet these incredible athletes. If you can’t make it in person, catch the live webcast directly from the Fluid Cup event page. Subscribe now to stay updated and avoid any further weather surprises!

 

Update for the Tournament Skiers

Hi Skiers,

Today was a tough day on the water!
The forecast for tomorrow isn’t much better, but we are optimistic that we will get some decent skiing in!
We will be starting at 7:30 AM with OW Jump, followed by more 5.5 ft jumping, 6ft, and then 5ft if the conditions allow. Slalom will follow, but please arrive early in case jump is shortened. Slalom will start no earlier than 9:30 AM.

We are hoping conditions will be skiable, but regardless, this will be everyone’s first round.
Tricks will follow slalom, but will start no earlier than 12:30 PM.
All rounds of tricks will be completed tomorrow afternoon. If you would like to exchange your round of jump or slalom tomorrow for tricks, you are welcome to do so, as long as you let us know by 10:00 AM.

The updated schedule and running order has been attached and published on WorldWaterSkiers.com, IWSF, and USAWaterski Live Results.
Thank you for your patience, and fingers crossed the weather cooperates!

Regards,

Presented by Dream Makers

October 18-20, 2024 – Polk City, FL

 

The 2024 World Water Skiers Overall Tour will conclude with an epic final showdown at Fluid Ski and Sports from October 18-20. The WWS Fluid Cup, presented by Dream Makers, serves as the 4th and final stop of the tour, where the Overall Tour Champion will be crowned.

Schedule Update: Due to higher-than-normal winds, and following the challenges brought by Hurricane Milton last week, Ski Fluid is prepared to host the world’s top athletes despite the weather. To ensure safe and fair competition, we’ve adjusted the event schedule, including moving the Overall Finals to Sunday, October 20, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. We appreciate your understanding as the athletes dig deep to deliver their best performances under these conditions.

• Preliminaries will begin on Friday, October 18, at 9:00 AM, starting with Slalom, followed by Jump.
• Trick prelims are scheduled for Saturday, October 19, at 9:00 AM.
• The finals will now take place on Sunday morning, featuring the top 9 men from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

The battles at each stop have been incredible, and the TRAVERS Cup was raced at a world-record pace in every round. If you haven’t watched the live webcast yet, you can now catch up on the highlight show and get up to speed on the fierce battle leading into the Fluid Cup.

Despite the weather challenges, the world’s top overall skiers—vying for the year-end bonus—including Joel Poland, Dorien Llewellyn, Louis Duplan-Fribourg, and Martin Kolman, are poised to compete across all three disciplines: Slalom, Trick, and Jump. With only 20 points separating the Tour Podium contenders, this season-defining event will push the athletes to their limits as they battle for crucial tour points and the ultimate title.

The WWS Fluid Cup offers not only thrilling competition but also an exciting fan experience. We invite spectators to join us in the VIP tent for appetizers and drinks while enjoying the action up close.

While the finals will be live webcast, we encourage fans to attend in person for the full experience, including an after-party with the athletes.
