It is also interesting to watch the scores for the Team Championship. Right now after these three rounds, it is close (well, reasonably close) between Slovakia and the USA for 1st and 2nd, respectively. Not too distant is France and then Germany, respectively. Of course, the Team Championship is not determined until the Finals rounds (top 15) are completed. The team placing is based on the ranking of the top 3 flyers from the country. Since the Junior's placing can be higher than other members of the country's team, the Junior's placing can become important to the team standings. This has happened in the past, including previous USA teams.Team placings are based on the sum of the ordinal rankings of the individual team members.Keith
I must be missing something. Slovakia is 1, 7, 10 for a total of 18.USA is 2, 18, 20 for a total of 39.That looks like a convincing SVK team win at this point.
The US 1, 9 and 15 placings are for the World Cup not the World Championships. There have only been 2 rounds at the World Championships.
Todays flying is over . Not a great day for me. I didn’t have one of my best flights and a combination of flying through the sun twice and a 90 degree wind shift didn’t help the cause either. Howard had similar issues as we both flew at the same time. Steven had a good flight and put up one of his best scores. Orestes had a really good flight this morning, however his score didn’t reflect it as he was the first one up for the day. We need a big day tomorrow to have any chance of metaling as a team.
Do they take the best flight from rounds 1&2 and then the best flight from rounds 3&4?
and, LETS NOT FORGET THE OTHER DISCIPLINS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Alex Vilashev (USA) has the new World Record in F2A (CL Speed): 308.8 kph. (191.456 mph if my old math still holds up)Carl
Konstantin made the Finals. Go Canada!

Congratulations to all involved. It looked like a very tough battle. It appears that Team USA held on to win the bronze team medal. Go enjoy the banquet, and have a safe trip home.
