fees

Dear all,

What is the meaning of "fees" in:

{Hello our favourite viewers and welcome to your favourite extreme fees}

That was said by an announcer in a program about ICF Freestyle World Championships 2009.

Thanks a lot.

I think you may have misheard. It means nothing to me.

It is even written "fees"!

Are you sure you have heard "fees"? Maybe it was "feast". That would make much more sense to me.

Then what it would mean to you?

I tended to translte it as "extreme sport" since they are talking about free kayaking. But if you can kindly help, I will be grateful.

Thanks.

Here:

"Hello our favourite viewers and welcome to your favourite extreme fees. Today we take you in the elite of the sport that is gaining in popularity by the minute. It`s freestlye kayaking and we`re at the world championships in Thun in Switzerland. Let`s check it out."

I can only assume that it should be 'frees', for 'freestyle sports'.

I strongly agree with you. That's how I translated it, too.

Thanks a lot for your effort. It's still a start, though I hope the episode is not so technical
