Penticton’s Matt Margetts had a disappointing finish during the half pipe world championships in Voss, Norway March 5. The Canadian Freestyle Ski Association reported that Margetts was among six Canadians who didn’t find a spot on the podium. Margett’s had qualified first after making small mistakes in a run that earned the best score of 65.2. Throughout the season Margetts has consistently qualified high but unable to continue to the same in finals. On the moguls course, Penticton’s Andi Naude placed 12th during the world championship, also held in Voss. On Twitter the rookie posted that she is very happy with her run. “Congrats to the whole @canfreestyleski team for skiing so well today,” posted Naude.
FIS World Championship action continues Friday and Naude will be in head-to-head competition.
