After coming from the losers bracket, then beating Keith St. Onge, Marc was in the championship round against Peter Fleck. Marc needed two wins against Fleck in order to claim the crown. After Marc and Peter went a record breaking 5 1/4 8's, Peter fell which meant there would be one more run to determine the champ. Donahue and Fleck went at it again, 1, 2, then 3 1/2 8's later it was Marc Donahue, the last man standing, as the 2010 Footstock Open Division champion!!!

Here's the video of the Final run. Thanks to Dan Tanis!

Freddie skied all day against 20 other competitors without a single loss. His final match was paired against JJ Link of sunny Florida. Link needed two wins against Freddie in order to finish first. JJ skied strong all day, however it wasn't enough to overcome Freddie in the final. Only a half of an eight into the final run, JJ caught a toe on the first set of rollers and sent Freddie to the top of podium as the champion!

I receive this magazine since I joined USA Water ski and became a certified boat driver. It's a decent magazine that features some nice articles covering various types of water skiing events. Toward the back of this months issue is an interview with World Champion Keith St. Onge about barefooting on both rough water and glass clam water. I scanned the document and converted it to PDF. I hope I don't infringe any copyright laws...
