    Stefan congratulations brother what an amazing win!!! I am so happy for you and hope you continue to do well as you continue in your gliding endeavours. When you talk about making a mistake and then you worry and work so hard to make up for it, then you hear about and realize that the other competitors make mistakes as well it reminds me of a quick saying. If your in Africa and you are with another person and are being chased by a man eating lion, just remember you don't need to be the fastest runner in the world, you just need to be faster than the other guy!!!
    Good luck in your next adventure and having come from a family heavily involved in aviation and gliding, please be safe in all you do.
    Take care!!!

    Just had a look at the results and it looks like you were tied on points with Erik Borgmann. What were the rules of how the tie was broken? Was it average position or best position (i.e. your win on day 1) or total flying time?

    • @mumblecake251
      @mumblecake251 7 месяцев назад

      Forgot the totally obvious: massive congratulations!!! I always half expected you to win big but I assumed it would be in 10-15 years with loads more experience. Unbelievable performance and that final point to actually win was totally clutch. 10s slower in race 4 and you wouldn't have got that point and Erik would have won. Total nail biter (in hindsight) ... probably a good thing that you didn't know how close it was at the time!
