Sina Candrian leads the swatch TTR world rankings as the Southern Hemisphere leg comes to a close
Innsbruck, Austria The Southern Hemisphere leg of the 2010/11 Swatch TTR World Tour has come to a close with Swiss rider, Sina Candrian, sitting atop the TTR World Rankings.
The highlight of the Southern Hemisphere leg was its premier event, the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open, where riders from around the world gathered eager to secure some early-season ranking points.
Unfortunately, due to a record-breaking snowstorm in Australia, the legendary 4Star Stylewars event had to be cancelled. But, a string of 3Star events went off in both New Zealand and Australia where riders were able to bank some ranking points.

In addition to the new judging system, there was also some great riding at the New Zealand Open despite some challenging riding conditions. 19-year old Jamie Anderson (USA), who has been building herself a reputation as a slopestyle superstar, took home the top spot for the women. The conditions turned around to sun and slush for the halfpipe competition where Iouri Podladtchikov (SUI) and Kelly Clark (USA) took home top honors.
