Winter X Games Includes Qualifier Winter Games New Zealand
The next ESPN Winter X Games held in Aspen, Colorado has included Winter Games New Zealand (WGNZ) as one of its qualifiers.
Free ski head judge and hailed the Winter X Games’ “Jedi Master,” Josh Loubek, says that the New Zealand participants have built a name in the world of skiing, especially the Wells brothers. For Loubek, an American, this is what makes the Winter X Games even more exciting.
The Winter Games New Zealand will be an ideal venue for the competitors, says Loubek. This will be a big hit and a memorable one since athletes from all over the world will attend the event, including the participation of a receptive audience.
He says he expects a high-level competition as the players enter the Winter Olympics in Whistler in the next season. He also added that he is excited to take a trip to one of his favored places in the world to enjoy the scenery and its people.
A full list of the players will be announced a few days before the start of the competition. The 10-day event begins in August and will highlight snowboarding, ice hockey, figure skating, curling, freestyle skiing, and cross country skiing. There will also be alpine skiing, an event divided into three categories: the Super Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Slalom.
