The third competition day started with the usual laid-back attitude. At noon the thermal wind shifted to the regular wind direction earlier then expected, which was a good sign for some racing in the afternoon. And so it was, with less clouds, more sunshine then yesterday and the excitement level to the max, as competitors headed out for the first time during this scheduled event in winds from 11 to 13 knots. The Women completed 1 full fleet race. [more]
Brigita Viilop took first victory and in second place Nazli Urenli from Turkey who made her IFCA event debut at the previous Youth and Masters Slalom World Championship in Lake Garda Italy earlier this summer. In third position we have one of the strongest Croatian female competitors, Katarina Pelivan. Missing out was Carmen Geelkens who struggled timing her start in the tricky conditions of today.
