1000km flights
I think the 2005? Open Europeans in Rayskala Finland had a 1000 k
task with about 17 finishers - all thermal of course! :-) .

Correct, that was the one and only 1000K task in EGC/WGC level competition. Briefing was announced to be early in the morning and I think they were launching right after 10. Some 15m class pilots were furious because they got only 850K task.

If tasks were set to the maximum every day then Sebastian would win by more, based on my observation of him relative to other pilots over the last four WGC and a couple of GPs.
Here in Australia we have an ageing pilot group, (like USA) and a rash of accidents in the over 75 group unfortunately. Tom ....

1000km flights
6 January 2018 - another huge day for 1000km flights. I am seeing 41 on OLC so far. Some may still be added by pilots who only get online later and there are perhaps some too done by pilots who are not on OLC. More of a mix of venues - with the longest distances for the day being flown from Potchefstroom in South Africa - the home of Jonker Sailplanes.

Uys Jonker's 1250km FAI triangle at 157km/h - new world record? Looks like they were trying to show what the JS3 is really capable of

They were actually flying 18m - and looks like all 4 could have broken the previous 1250km record
