In a high-class competition, Enni Rukajärvi took victory at the 7th Roxy Chicken Jam 2010 at Saalbach Hinterglemm. At the world's biggest snowboard event for girls only, the 19-year-old Finn won over double Roxy Chicken Jam champ Cheryl Maas (NED) and Norwegian Kjersti Buaas Oestgaard who took second and third. The leader of the Swatch TTR Women's ranking list Sarka Pancochova (CZE) ended up in fourth.
At the brand new location and excellent re-designed course construction in Saalbach Hinterglemm in Austria, the 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam began the showdown with a seriously high level of riding. 36 girls who had traveled from all over the world had to ride it out for the 6 top spots qualifying for tomorrows finals.
The Roxy Chicken Jam will be held as a carbon neutral event. The compensation for the effects on the environment and the avoidance of CO2 and garbage are in the foreground. "The Quiksilver group being committed to sustainability and the protection of the environment, it is a great step to have the Roxy Chicken Jam being held as a neutral event", says Maritxu Darrigrand who is in charge of sustainable development at Roxy and Quiksilver.Â
