THE FINAL races of the 1986
World Cup ski season, the Molson
World Downhill and Super Giant
Slalom will take place at Whistler,
March 15-16,

Glenn Wurtele, Canada’s head
alpine ski coach, said he is confi-
dent that the Canadian men’s team
will perform well in the final four
downhill races of the season in
Europe and then again in the final
two races of the season at Aspen
and Whistler.

Looking back on the season to
date, Wurtele said it has been
“most unusual.’? He said the big
disappointments were cancellations
of three major races at Garmish
(no snow), St. Anton (too much
snow) and Wengen (a blizzard).

INTERRUPTIONS

“The cancellations put a damper
on everything’, said Wurtele.
“The thing that suffered the most
was the constant interruptions in
training. You just didn’: know
from one day to the next if you
were even going to get on skis.””

Wurtele said the team is looking
forward to the downhill races at
Aspen (March 8) and the Molson
Warld Downhill and Super Giant
Slalom.

“Our guys will be skiing on
home turf and mentally it will be a
big pick-me-up. The two Molson
Races, coming as they do at the
end of the season, will be good for
everyone. Already the guys are
talking about the Whistler races
and how much they’re looking
forward to them.’’ :

Wurtele said that despite the fact :

Canada hasn’t had the kind of
results experienced in the past, he’s
extremely pleased with many of his
skiers.

TOP TEN

Canada has only had two top 10
finishes to date this season - Felix
Belezyk of Castlegar was fourth in
a make-up race at Kitzbuehl and
Rob Boyd of Whistler finished
10th at Val Gardena.

The two finishes were individual
bests. Wurtele also said he was
impressed with Ottawa's Scott
Shaver who started 69th in
Schladming and finished 21st
overall.

Wurtele feels that part of the
secret for the improvement among
the younger skiers has been putting
them on the Europa Cup circuit
and then bringing them up for
selected World Cup races.

- **T think it can only help and will

for

make them strong contenders in
the future.’’

Wurtele said he expects 13-14
skiers to represent Canada at the
Molson World Downhill at

Broo
