TCRA Prepares for Elite FIS Race
Wanaka, New Zealand – August 28th, 2009 – The Treble Cone Race Academy has been training diligently throughout the
season and it has paid off in the world class events around New Zealand this winter. With successful finishes at the
Japanese FIS Cup last weekend the TCRA has been using the momentum for the upcoming Elite FIS Race at Treble Cone
September 1st and 2nd.
The Treble Cone Race Academy will represent about one third of the field with athletes from NZ and around the globe. The
program attracts a variety of elite skiers including Christian Hogan from Norway, Jon Olsson from Sweden, Kilian
Albrecht from Bulgaria (top 30 in the world) and those from the British Development Team among others.
“Our World Class infrastructure - including coaching staff, training facilities, snow surface preparation, lodging,
nutrition, transport, and training equipment - provides an environment that gives our athletes the best possible
opportunity to improve and perform,” said Director Guenther Birgmann.
With their high quality training program the TCRA has gained a reputation that continuously attracts National Teams from
Austria, Norway, Germany and the USA as well as stand out solo athletes seeking a performance program without the
confines of competing as a team.
TCRA has a variety of programs targeting everyone from the most elite skiers and NCAA Athletes to up-and-coming youth
skiers looking to lower their world ranking for the approaching winter in the Northern Hemisphere. TCRA has and
continues to draw the world’s best skiers down to Wanaka and Treble Cone.
