With a total of 21 Water Ski and Wakeboard World Cup stops already completed, competition for places in the 2008 starting list is at an all time high. In simple terms, each skier or rider must be ranked in the top 20 in the world by the International Water Ski Federation (IWSF) to have any chance of success. In spite of this, the selected athletes will represent nineteen countries this season. The line up of spectacular venues also makes it a truly global event again this year with stops confirmed in Russia, Egypt, Singapore, India, Malaysia and Qatar.
