UPDATE (23:01, 27/06/08)
Provisional results after run 3:
1. Horacio Llorens
2. Guillaume Chatain
3. Hernan Pittoco
4. Félix Rodriguez
5. Cyrille Planton
Provisional results after run 3:
1. SATisfactions
2. Joker
3. Blues Apocalypse
The ranking stayed the same, but the points difference between the teams got bigger and bigger. SATisfaction did a perfectly synchronized flight again. The french team of Alexandre Aimard and Baptiste Rouset came second in this run! The Spälti team is the only one doing Molineti this time (Pitch Pendulum Synchro) just as their last maneuver, flying directly towards the public - really impressive.
Swiss Championship provisional results after run 3:
1. Hervé Cerutti
2. Chrigel Maurer
3. Celine Barman
Sorry, but I couldn't get the detailed results again...
Tomorrow will be no runs for the world cup, instead an "Open" freestyle competition will be held and on sunday comes the final runs in all categories.
The 3rd solo run just finished now, in a few minutes they continue with hanggliding, then comes the synchro at 14:00pm.
Cyrille Planton (FR, with Black) did an excellent run with really clear maneuvers and safe landing on the raft, so for sure he can stay in the top 3. Félix (SP, FLX) did not so well this time and missed up his ground spiral landing - came too close to the beach - therefore he might get some warnings and maybe loose some positions. Not like Guillaume Chatain (FR, Shoot), who's performance is constantly really good.
Yesterday I forgot to tell about the Swiss Championship.
At the moment the ranking is:
1. Hervé Cerutti (Gradient Seven)
2. Chrigel Maurer (Advance proto)
3. Celine Barman (Gradient Seven)
The biggest surprise of Vertigo is Celine (Hervé's girfriend), who is doing the highest Tumblings ever from the girls and performing excellent SAT to Helicos and everything...Today she just managed to finish the last figure - a Misty Flip at 2 meters, then splashed straight into the water.
Unfortunately Chrigel is flying an older prototype from Advance, not the one that he made all the Infinity records with (that one doesn't work well anymore), so he can do only Tumbling and Rythmic SAT in his program.
