Thank Paul - very nice pictures.



I agree with others the reporting leaves something to be desired. *The best I've seen is from the Canadian Team's blog. *Am I missing something?



So - what happened to John Seaborn yesterday?



Seaborn is listed as a "DNS" yesterday (Day 3), but there's nothing on

the US Team website that adds anything. IMHO, in a sport that's

struggling to maintain interest, we're missing a great opportunity to

market soaring with the WGC only coming here once in a blue moon (too

costly to ship equipment/teams). Give much credit to the WGC

organizers and directors for mobilizing this. However, maybe they

should have recruited a bigger, more aggressive, PR effort with SSA

assistance? The Spot tracking only includes a few gliders, perhaps

because of tactical issues for the pilots. Even a delayed, but more

expansive, tracking would boost spectator interest. Don't mean to be a

complainer. Cudos to all who are putting in their time/effort to make

a successful competition (and to DB for winning Day 2 in the new

Concordia)!

make sure read all the lines on the 15 meter score sheet. It notes the situation with John's flight on Wednesday.
