You and JJ seem to be under the impression that the Szeged accident
resulted from a low altitude high speed approach. Reports from the
site indicate the glider, like some others finishing that day, was low
energy.

Do you have new information that conflicts with those reports?

If not, can you please explain how the finish type was a factor in the
accident.
