Who Wil Be Crowned The Women’s Swatch TTR Champ?
Mammoth, California, USA – March 23rd, 2009: The recent Burton US Open has not only crowned Peetu Piroinen (FIN) the 08/09 men’s Swatch TTR Tour Champion but has also blown the door wide open for several possible contenders to claim victory at the upcoming 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam. The Swatch TTR premier women riders will gather at Mammoth Mountain, California from March 27th – 29th, 2009, to battle it out for the Title and Top 3. Saturday’s Halfpipe finals will offer up the first of two batches of 1000 Swatch TTR ranking points and will be the last chance before the Tour defining Slopestyle battle. On Sunday, March 29th, 2009, the epic race will conclude with the crowning of the next women’s Swatch TTR World Tour Champion. Current World No.1, Jamie Anderson (USA) was considered to be the strongest contender to claim the Swatch TTR Title; however, an injury at the US Open that temporarily takes her out of competitions has allowed other riders to close the gap on her.
