I was a bit sad to miss the Olympics , but I do like the way the USA shows their talents as well. Was very impressed with the “fab/fierce 5” the gymnastic girls from team USA and even more impressed with swimmers Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps , …who won more Olympic medals then anyone before. And yesterday I arrived home and saw how the Dutch 50 m girls won gold and bronze so I put my head statisfied on my pillow.

The 7 practise days are over here in Uvalde and on the last day only half or less were flying. They had enough practise. Yesterday at 7 the safety briefing was the last important issue before the start of this WGC. The parade and opening were fantastic and everybody enjoyed it immense. Look at soaring cafe site for all the pictures and stories.

 Patrick Puskeilers enthusiasm on FB is so nice to see. Here is his comment;
—“Es hat geklappt :Ich bin jetzt Deutscher Juniorenmeister der Clubklasse! Vielen Dank an Fisch für den geilen Flieger, Marie für die Hilfe und Sarah und Krümel für das tolle Team! Es hat echt Spaß gemacht ;—“

After 8 days of flying he took the CUP home in club class. Fabian Siebwurst won the standard class.The last day was cancelled in both classes.
