Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>NAMIBIA enjoyed a successful outing at the recent South African and All Africa Waterski Championships 2022 in Stellenbosch.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Namibian team amassed 17 medals for the South African Championships, and 27 medals for the All Africa Championships, which took place between 13 and 15 May.<\/p>\n

Lexine Mills, Morne Mostert, Kyron Sprake, Luke Schmidt, Jean-Paul Wehnert, Jeane Kamfer, team captain Andre Mostert, and Martin Schmidt as team manager represented the country with distinction.<\/p>\n

Namibia was second overall for the All Africa Championships, monopolising the men’s division podium positions with Sprake, Schmidt and Morne Mostert placing in that order.<\/p>\n

In the women’s division, Kamfer was second overall.<\/p>\n

The highlight for Namibia was arguably the excellent showing by Sprake, who skied two buoys on a 11,25 metre rope at a boat speed of 58 km\/h, which was close to improving the Namibian Open record, held by Gary Knight since 2005.<\/p>\n

The competition between Sprake and Schmidt was close for the overall position, but Morne Mostert surprised everyone to finish third, as studying full-time has given him very little time to train.<\/p>\n

Mills and Andre Mostert unfortunately suffered injuries during the championships, and were unable to perform at their best.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe practice rounds were challenging given the typical Cape winter weather. Fortunately the weather improved for the championship days, allowing for some really good skiing and tough competition,\u201d the Namibia Skiing Association said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Namibian teams’ results are as follows:<\/p>\n

SOUTH AFRICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/p>\n

U21 women \u2013 Lexine Mills first place in slalom, u21 men third in slalom, and first in tricks with first place overall.<\/p>\n

Open women \u2013 Jeane Kamfer first in slalom and first in tricks, with first overall.<\/p>\n

Open men \u2013 Kyron Sprake first in slalom, Luke Schmidt second in slalom and first in tricks, first overall, Jean-Paul Wehnert third in slalom and third in tricks, second overall.<\/p>\n

Men over 55 \u2013 Andre Mostert first in slalom and first in tricks, with first overall.<\/p>\n

ALL AFRICA CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/p>\n

U21 men \u2013 Morne Mostert second in slalom and second in tricks, with first overall.<\/p>\n

Open men \u2013 Kyron Sprake first in slalom and second in tricks, first overall. Luke Schmidt second in slalom and first in tricks, second overall. Jean-Paul Wehnert third in slalom and third in tricks, third overall.<\/p>\n
