posted Sep 13th, 2003 - It came as many hoped for. Russia and U.S.A. are now tied in first place and have to jump again to break the tie. Airspeed and France both posted 16s in a slow round, while Russia once again looked more cautious through this sequence. The jump-off will only be between U.S.A. and Russia. And the teams have already begun preparing the new sequence. The crowd is excited. And the most experienced 8-way competitor in the field, Craig Girard, can't wait to go up for the first jump-off of his career. Can it get more exciting?
