Yesterday's round 6 had a remarkable number of dead center hits - five pilots ended the day with 000 in the results: Vlastimil Vachtl from Czech Republic, Samuel Sperber and Dominique Leclercq from France, Jaka Gorenc from Slovenia, Matthew Bignell from UK and Xhonatan Islami from Albania.
The second day of flying started mid-morning with ideal flying conditions... The second round, which was started the day before, was successfully completed and after a short break, the third round was also completed. This makes the event valid after just two days of flying. The fourth round was started but brought to a premature halt by a light rain shower just before the scheduled finish time. However, many excellent low scores were achieved including several dead centres (0cm) making the competition very tight.
FAI has received a Straight distance to a declared goal European record claim from Francisco Gines Navarro Gonzalez (Paco Navarro) and Marcelo Sanchez Vilchez (Spain). On July 25, 2022 they flew on the course Zarza - Capilla (Spain) - Bonete (Spain) 329,91 km. The current record was set in 2019, at that time Jouni Makkonen flew in Finland 274,7 km.
