Swiss pre-Flash

 
Hi Roger,

please make a quick publishing of this pre advertisement for late bookers:


Report from Mühleturnen in Switzerland - 1 day before the great World CUP and HEC final EURO FLY - the biggest World CUP, the World ever seen, with over 250 declared contestants

The Swiss have invited the Freeflight World  for the EURO FLY final and  the biggest World CUP contest is the result:
wow  --> 217 competitors from 24 countries made 252 registrations - thereof 22 juniors in all classes  -  92 in F1A, 89 in F1B, 26 in F1C, 9 in F1Q, 15 in F1H and 21 in F1G
It 's a fantastic event with all what we need in our sports:  usually difficult weather, cool in the morning, but getting sunny and warmer in the midday, light breeze, the cows are standing on the farm and looking in the air, if there is coming new fresh carbon from the heaven and sharper profils for their stomach better to digest as appetizer , tremendous, exciting FLY OFF's, where not always the best will win, but sometimes also the luckiest, also all what your  freeflight heart has to  need and not always get. Fresh air, grass field with some fences and forbitten areas in marvelous valley, not to forget the food and drinks - prepared by the HC members.
All, who are not able to come, will miss a great final WC contest on a gorgeous flying field in a valley with the scenery view to the Berner Alps with white covered mountains -called snow - and finding  sometimes thermal not so easy like in summertime - but the feeling to fly short before Christmas  a wonderful contest with lots of good friends around you will be bring you big satisfaction, if you fly for Wolrd CUP winning, for fun or only due you have done it  for your whole life  or your wife need a free apartment/ floor for this weekend to make the autumn clean.
The new WC rules with 4 results brought a wider  range of TOP 10 with the result, that not like 2 years before more people has a final chance by winning this high extra points bringing WC and the total WC win anymore:Therfore actual status looks like following ( without  warranty):

In F1A  nobody can take Mikail Koshonozkhin (RUS)  the 3rd WC win in a row - MK has too much extra points and nobody has 3 wins before this final.
In F1B  Alex Andriukov take by last week Sierra CUP win over the leading in WC before Andrej Burdov.  Only if Andrej will come in the last moment and win over AA he can prevent another from several WC win of the great F1B Master Alex for the 7th time.
In F1C  Artem Babenko (UKR) is on the best way to defend his WC win of  2012 and his 4th win.  Only Viacheslav Aleksandrov  UKR)   can beat him by own win of Eurofly 2013.
In F1Q  Ron Assmus (GER) must win to pass the actual leader Heikki Salminen(FIN).

In F1G this contest will be part of 2013/ 2014 F1G EURO Challenge (GEC) and bring the maximum of points for the winner.
The 2nd final is taking place here in Mühleturnen - the HEC F1H EURO Challenge  with his last  2 contests.

Last but not least, on Saturday evening the special banquet with " Berner Alpenplatte " -  fine Sauerkraut from the fructuos  Gürbetal  with special different meat , the final singer Bernd Silz from Meenz(GER) hopefully in good mood and singing " So ein Tag, so wunderschön wie heute"  -  "Such a day, such wonderful like today!" . Good social sit together and talking about the good old time will be another highpoint of next weekend in Mühleturnen solely restaurant Adler with great conference hall.

Walter - thank you  and your wonderful team as main driver for this great and successful event

... and when you readers are curious, pack your suitcase, go to the airport, buy a ticket and fly to Bern-Belp (this  local regional airport 15 km from the flying field), call  me and I pick you up - have fun,  I'm sure we have it , but would like to split with you , if you arrive in time !

For me it is a absolutely must to be there since 30 years and I'm thank Walter Eggimann and his great team from Hockeyclub Mühelturnen (HC) , who organize this event  now since several time in a wonderful way.
50 timekeepers from HC will be there with their hockeystick and if competitors don't fly a max, they will help to evaluate the thermal using their hockeystick in the air  for the right moment and place to  flight. It works !
