Several years ago a new style-slalom competition system appears – Battle system. And now it becomes one of the most interesting and fascinating events in a slalom world. Nowadays great and perfectly organized events replace first tries of a new system and a kind of proud for Russian skaters – very first official Battle was held during the 2007 ISPO Exhibition in Moscow. That February event started a long and “not over yet” story of World Slalom Series. This year later - 5 more Battle competitions were held in Great Britain, Germany, Italy, China and USA. But Moscow Battle remains unreached by level of organisation, passion of skaters and just first-in-a-world in people’s memories.

During that 2007 event despite of huge number of Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian skaters victory goes to France. First winner was Igor Sheremetieff, well know skater from Paris, who started a long winning row from this Russian event. Dmitry Milokhin becomes second and Vladimir Tkachev – third. In a girls competition first place were divided between Polina Semenova and Nadejda Zelenova, Lika Babiy – were third.
