26/08/2013 Day 4 Cheboksary, Russia

The competition is continuing with re-jumps and tie-breaks as I prepare to leave for Kolomna and the next European Championships and World Cup this time in Canopy Piloting.  I will update these pages as soon as I can with details of the prize giving ceremony and the final results.

Congratulations in advance to all the winners, and those who held their nerve through the tie-breaks in difficult conditions.

Taisya Krivoshcheoiva, Junior Female, Russia - after her semi-final jump with a score of 4 cm  is in gold medal position (with the final yet to come) in both the European Championships and World Cup following the disasterous jump by the Chinese girl, Ling Zhang who lost her commanding lead with a 16 cm score on the 9th round.  She is still joint 2nd so all will depend on the next jump.

Yesterday evening we completed the 8th Round of Female Team Accuracy (European Championships) and the tight competition between Belarus, France and Poland with 1 point between each team at the end of the 7th round continued to the 8th.

Belarus  56 points - France  57 points - Poland 58 points. 

Congratulations to the competitors.  Their positions will be confirrmed when the results are signed off by the Chief Judge.
