21.00hrs: It's been an action-packed evening as the clouds finally lifted a little after 17.00hrs when it was decided to put the two local German 4-Way teams on a lift to ascertain the conditions. Thankfully a successful exercise which allowed the competition to recommence after what had been a truly miserable day. The last lift - no 28 - took off at 20.45hrs and we now have completed Round 4 in 4-Way Open where Hayabusa have edged ahead of VR4 France by 1 point, 102 points to 101.

FAI flag

The flag is flying, the anthem has been played and the European Championships and World Cups in Formation Skydiving, Artistic Events, Canopy Formation and Speed Skydiving declared formally open. This was the end of a good opening ceremony - unpolitical, short, good speeches with humour and fun music. Competitors gathered a short street away from the main square where they were presented with their country name carrier and their National Flags, and were entertained by the amazing music of a local German steel drum band, playing Brazilian Samba rhythms.

Tuesday 8th August 2017: Day 2

What's a World Cup without rain? True to its historic roots low cloud and rain engulfed the airfield this morning, so it wasn't very long before the Meet Director, Dr Rainer 'Exi' Hoenle announced that everyone was stood down till 12.00hrs. Despite the weather these girls lit up the surrounding area with their infectious smiles!
