At this moment some 115 gliders are back home. The tasks seems to be well set today, because the speeds are extreme. The task time is slightly under 3 hours so we will miss 1000 pioints in some classes. The arrivals were exeptional and thanks to all pilots all went very well so far. All that despite a huge groups of gliders arriving together. It has been so busy on frequency that even call sign reply wouold cause a trouble. Now the flights are evaluated and early preliminary results are already on soaringspot.com.
