Long finish- Chile 05.01.2010

Those have a great fun, for whom fly is not associated with the need to use sedative tablets, because the Internet can follow the direct relationships from the world championships in glider racing and comment their feelings on chat.

Additional emotions during transmission from very dramatic flights in the second competition, were associated with the question: - Where is Sebastian?

 

Yesterday was also full of emotions, because, due to forecasts of providing a very active subsidence inversion of air masses at an altitude of 1000m. And there are high mountains...  Fortunately, meteorology is still not an exact science and the conditions were better than expected. On the short, over 200 km route, all played out at the finish. At some point, Sebastian was able to spring back from the pack, which was circling last thermal, and find his own one. That manoeuvre allowed Sebastian to develop a few kilometers advantage. During the 40 km finish at the rocks, Gostner, also flying on 'Diana', came to him. He had an small adventage of height, and closely following the flight path of our pilot, he managed to outstrip Sebastian just before the finish line. Yesterday's result reinforces our pilot on the leadership position. However, satisfaction with the outcome is disturbed by the fact that Sebastian's things have been stolen; computer, accessories necessary to prepare for flight, documents and credit card left in the office at the time of the flight... Dark forces operate everywhere ...

 Nothing, Seba, it's nothing... Have nice dreams , cause material losses are not important and your account is blocked.
