Default 13.5 Meter World Championships

Agree, fabulous going guys.
Question: Has anyone done a results comparison measured by wing loading? It has been pointed out elsewhere that while the competing gliders share a wing span (13.5) they are not all built to common standards. The Diana2 and the clipped wing Lak have a much higher available wing loading.
Which by the by makes the US team performance all the more creditable.
