Finian Maynard celebrates a landmark victory here in Turkey

Maynard has delivered a sizeable challenge to Albeau`s dominance by winning here in Turkey.

Meaning that the 2006 PWA Slalom title will now not be decided until the final event at the Colgate World Cup Sylt. However, to stand a chance of beating Albeau, Maynard must win the Sylt event outright and hope that Albeau finishes outside of the top 8, a tall order at the best of times. For the women however, it is all over for another year in Slalom, as there are no further events on the women`s tour. Karin Jaggi`s impressive career chalks up yet another title, but the outstanding array of challengers pushing her this year has undoubtedly opened up the possibilities for the future. Verena Fauster`s performance in Turkey has been impressive and Allison Shreeve is an ever present threat. Another name to watch out for is Sarah Herbert, who has definitely got the top 3 girls looking back nervously over their shoulders.
