30th September 2001 So, first up this morning is mens slalom, possibly the last worlds for Andy Mapple, so he will want to go out on a gold. Mapple quite capable as he is by far the best under the pressure that this event brings. I am going to stick me neck out here and say that I think the gold will go to a Brit, but Glenn Campbell.
