www.latania.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0sponsored racer Jack Jardine has a busy end of season. The end of the season saw the Tarentaise Coupe de Bronze<\/em> which covers the Three Valleys, Valmorel, Champagny and Pralognan. Jack double podiumed with a Second \u00a0for the whole seasons races and a Third for the final of the parallel slalom where 32 of the best kids go head to head!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final weekend was the big one though\u2026. The championships of the Savoie, Coupe de Argent<\/em> covering the \u00a0major resorts in the Northern Alps. Jack automatically qualified for the last 32 based on his seasons results and he didn\u2019t disappoint!!!<\/p>\n\n\n

Needing to get \u00a0through 5 rounds of head to heads comprising of 2 runs the tough competition and soft conditions made it dramatic to watch with races being won by 1\/100\u2019s of a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack made it to the final against Clement Desrues from the ski club Villaroger. The first run he was beaten having made a mistake and throwing him off his line giving his gate a 0.5 second delay in opening on the second run on the blue course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was all to play for and Jack \u2018go hard or go home\u2018<\/em> was chasing the hare!!! After 3 gates he had made up the time but a fraction behind, neck and neck neither of the racers made a mistake until the second to last gate and Clement made a slight error that was enough for Jack to grab victory by inches and become La Tania\u2019s first ever Savoie parallel champion in 30 years of the Club des Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To crown a great day for Jack he was second in the Savoie overall seasons classement for slalom and GS (again a first in the history of the club) and claimed his podiums for La Tania!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
