IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARK STEVENS
DORIEN LLEWELLYN SETS PENDING MENS OVERALL WORLD RECORD
Dorien Llewellyn set a pending Mens World Overall record Oct. 8th, at the JT Fall Classic at Sunset Lakes.
He slalomed 1 buoy at 41 off, tricked 11,010 points and jumped 223 feet (2,851.29 overall points) to top the previous record of 2,819.76 points set by Adam Sedlmajer in 2018.
If approved by the IWWF, the mark will return the World Overall record to the Llewellyn family. Dorien’s dad, Jaret, held the record on two different occasions, including an uninterrupted stretch of nearly 15 years between 2002 and 2017.
Congrats Dorien!

Note of Clarification
It has come to Water Ski Canada’s attention that the C1 tournament that took place this past weekend, sanctioned “World Water Ski League Open Slalom Championships” has created confusion for some due to event social media posts congratulating “Canadian Champions”.
Please note that this was not a Water Ski Canada National Championships. The 2020 Canadian Water Ski National Championships originally scheduled for Shalom Park in August were cancelled in April due to the pandemic. With the hope that competition will return to normal in 2021, we will resume the National Championships then. Stay tuned for more information to come.

En espérant que la compétition reviendra à la normale en 2021, nous reprendrons les championnats nationaux alors. Demeurez à l’écoute pour plus de
