Bobsledding - Skating - Skiing - Figure Skating
Oct. 15, 1965 - A study in concentration and precision ? Anne Wilton?s entire being is concentrated on rounding a marker at more than 30 mph, while balanced delicately on a shaped piece of wood behind a bucketing speedboat. Every muscle in tensed, every sinew taut as she solves her immediate problems in a study of skill and strength; grace and precision. She knows she has broken the fin on her ski. Later she will learn she has also broken her own slalom record, travelling at 36 mph, on the end of a short length of rope. This is the near climax of two weeks of intensive training by the six-member British water-ski team at the Princes Club, Ashford, Middlesex. The climax comes next week at the world championships in Australia
