With a solid and technical run, Sayaka Yabe from Japan locked in another trip to the States for herself by placing as the first non-qualified athlete at the ASA Pro Tour/X Trials event in Richmond, Virginia early this afternoon.
Both 1998 ASA World Champion Kelly Matthews and top ranked Fabiola da Silva were already qualified for the X Games, giving Sayaka Yabe the opportunity to return to San Francisco late this June for the Summer Games. |
