At the WWA World Championships! http://www.watersportsworld.co.uk/vic-tor-ious-at-the-wwa-world-championships/ http://www.watersportsworld.co.uk/vic-tor-ious-at-the-wwa-world-championships/#comments Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:31:47 +0000 scott http://www.watersportsworld.co.uk/?p=585 We love any excuse for a good old play on words, and this time miss Victoria Young has provided  us with a great one as you can see in the title of the post. In the early hours of this morning UK time, Tor stepped up against some of the best female riders in the world for the final of the Pro Womens division at the WWA World Championships in Abu Dhabi. In what we hear was a very hard fought final Tor grabbed 3rd place on the podium, an awesome result when you consider that both Maxine and Ang who finished above her are much more experience as well as spend all their days on the water practising, whilst Tor is at home earning a crust along side her shredding!

Tor has bounced back in a huge way from her knee blow out last year, and is back better than ever, with a European Title and UK Pro Tour Title under her belt for 2011, the coming season in 2012 will bring only more top result we are sure.

Nice work Tor! We salute you!

There are seventeen divisions of pro and amateur riders who will compete for top honors at Al Forsan cable park.

Tor Young is out there representing our team but is not the only brit out there, James Young and Dec Clifford are out there as well meaning we have a pretty high chance of plenty medals coming back to the UK. Even without ND out there.

If she is off the water long enough we will have updates on the daily action from Tor and hopefully some images as well. So keep checking back for the updates and results as we get them through.

Good luck to all the Brits over there, and no pressure Victoria but as the only team member out there, the podium beckons ;)
