Watersports World have a classy show for you this week, starting with round 2 of the all-new Waterski and Wakeboard World Cup. The venue is Russia, where 30,000 enthusiastic fans made this an extraordinary event for any sport.

This week we're concentrating on the three women's disciplines, slalom, trick and jump, and we interview world slalom and jump champion Emma Sheers from Australia, plus US Open slalom champ Natalie Hamrick.

Next week we'll show the men, including world jump champ Freddy Krueger (scary name, nice guy), plus joint slalom world record holder Jamie Beauchesne. This really is explosive action, great TV viewing, and how it hasn't made the Olympics is a mystery...
