They're going to be playing in the river again.
Following last year's hosting of the F1 Powerboat Grand Prix, this year Liuzhou is going to be treated to the jump and wakeboard events in the International Water Ski Federation (IWSF) 2009 World Cup. The events will be held during the National Day holiday, from October 1st to 3rd.
According to their website:
"Next on the calendar will be a totally new and exciting experience for all. Located 727km west of Hong Kong in China, the City of Liuzhou with its 2100 year history, will host a World Cup Stop for the very first time. Surrounded by rolling hills, mountains and caves, the river site will stage JUMP and WAKEBOARD on October 1/3. As it will fall within a national holiday period and will form part of a major Watersports Festival, our World Cup athletes will be on centre stage! It is anticipated that the Finals will be broadcast nationally by Central China TC (CCTV)"
No doubt, it will be the same as last year. The selected few will have riverside seats and the bridges and riverside roads will be closed to keep the scum locals out.
