Kleveland Tok Prestisjetung Sammenlagtseier Air+Style LA 20.02.17, MarcusKleveland 2. plass, foto: Process Films/Snowboardforbundet 20-02-2017 10:24 CET Kleveland tok prestisjetung sammenlagtseier Mandag morgen norsk tid vant Marcus Kleveland (17) den prestisjetunge sammenlagtseieren i Air+Style, der hele verdenstoppen deltar. Avslutningen av den tredelte konkurranseserien ble arrangert på stillashopp og kunstsnø i Los Angeles, og før finalen var det bare Sebastien Toutant (CA) som kunne ta fra Kleveland tittelen. Canadieren var nødt til å vinne i dag, men falt i to av tre runs, og allerede før sitt siste hopp var det derfor klart at Kleveland ville vinne touren. Som så mange ganger tidligere i år holdt han hodet kaldt og endte på en fin 3. plass. Men det var en nervøs Kleveland som kjørte i LA i dag. - Jeg visste jeg måtte ha minst en 6. plass for å vinne overallen, hvis Seb (Toutant) vant i dag. Etter at jeg tryna på førstehoppet kom nervene skikkelig inn. Men jeg gikk likevel for en cab trippel(cork) 1620 i andrerunnet, som jeg er mest redd for å gjøre, og landa greit. Da tenkte jeg at jeg skulle gjøre backside trippel og sikre overall-seieren. Jeg ble sjukt glad da det også var nok til 3. plassen, sier Kleveland. Nok en gang var nivået i big air-konkurransen enormt høyt, og det gjør landslagstrener Sondre Hylland enda mer imponert over det Kleveland presterer. - Maxence (Parrot), som vant i dag, la lista ved å lande det beste trikset i konkurransen allerede i første run. Da blir det et psykologisk spill i resten av konkurransen. Når Marcus (Kleveland) likevel klarer en 3. plass viser det hvor mye han virkelig vil vinne, sier landslagstrener Sondre Hylland. Har etablert seg i toppen Med seier i Air+Style Beijing og 2. plass i Innsbruck var dagens 3. plass i Los Angeles Klevelands tredje av tre mulige på Air+Style-touren. Det var også hans sjuende topp tre-plassering i årets sesong. Det er en enormt stor prestasjon. -Dette sier mye om den kjøreren Marcus (Kleveland) har blitt. Han har på kort tid blitt en erfaren kjører med veldig gode konkurranseegenskaper, og han har gjennom denne sesongen gang på gang vist at han leverer best når presset er som størst, sier landslagssjef Thomas Harstad. Torgeir Bergrem (25) tok seg også videre til dagen finale. Han endte på en 8. plass, men kunne fort ha utfordret de i toppen dersom han hadde landet sin backside trippelcork 1620 i siste run. Ser fram til X Games Norway Sesongen nærmer seg slutten, men det gjenstår særlig en viktig konkurranse for de norske gutta - X Games Norway - som finner sted i Hafjell 8.-11. mars. - Etter sammenlagtseieren i Air+Style er det selvfølgelig X Games hjemme det neste store målet. Må prøve å få gjort det bra der også. Da blir det en bra sesong, sier Kleveland lurt. Air+Style LA 1. Maxence Parrot (CA): 178,6 2. Seppe Smits (BE): 162,66 3.

And when was the last time you went to a student music performance, an arts opening, or a dance company showcase? At LC, peer support for the arts and music students is considerably dwin- dling as compared with the growing spirited support for the athletics. I want to tell you before anything else that I’m a violinist in the school orches- tra and a varsity fi eld hockey player in the fall. And that means I’m fair. By no means am I telling you to quit going to the games and instead to go watch a con- cert. Instead, I’m asking you for a heck lot more: consider going to both. Remember when our girls volleyball team played in the New England Final this past fall? Remember the Nothing but Nets charity game held by the boys varsity soccer team, the Play for the Cure held by the fi eld-hockey team? Th e school-wide peer support for these events was incredible, inspiring, and well-deserved. School spirit came to life in the sweat earned over hours of train- ing of the athletes, in the unifi ed cheers of the spectators and the fans.
