Pal wins again!
Well done to today’s winners: Pal TAKATS, Mette KRUM and team Gin.
Pal’s strategy was to defend his first position – looking out for Luke Nicol and Kuba Sto who both tried to attack and take the initiative today.
‘I was looking out for my closest competitors and just tried to stay high, do smart moves with the cycles. Attacking hard at the right moments paid off. Some of my closest competitors got ahead and low.
I let the others go first and observed to see how they got on. Today was tricky reading the clouds, so I played the safer game of coming back to the mountain and climbing.
The conditions were more demanding today and the best so far.’
At one point Pal remembers seeing 7 for at least a short time on his vario which took him all the way to cloudbase!
At the end, Pal took a straight line to goal and came back directly to the mountain above the campsite cutting a corner, while the leaders went back to take-off.
Pal told the srs.live news hounds: ‘It was a big mix of watching and keeping track of my competitors, the terrain and the sky. The less you are busy with the glider, the more information you can collect and the better decisions you can make.
It was a lot of fun! One day left to go!’
