PUTRAJAYA: Asian skiers will have every reason to perform to their best in this week’s Waterski World Championships at the Putrajaya Lake.

This is because for the first time the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) have approved of a parallel “Best Asian Skier” category to run alongside the main world meet event.
