Les jeux son fait! Tomas Mrazek and Angela Eiter pushed it right to the limit to win the World Cup Difficulty 2004 in Kranj last weekend.. The World Champion, crazy, unpredictable and, in the past, inconsistant, and the young Austrian super promise held their nerves to win their first-ever World Cup victory. In a thrilling final, and World Cup year, the two beat the undisputed dominators of the circuit, Alexandre Chabot and Muriel Sarkany. After winning in 2003, 2002 and 2001, it finally looks as if even they are not unbeatable.
