I agree with others the reporting leaves something to be desired. *The best I've seen is from the Canadian Team's blog. *Am I missing something? So - what happened to John Seaborn yesterday? Seaborn is listed as a "DNS" yesterday (Day 3), but there's nothing on the US Team website that adds anything. IMHO, in a sport that's struggling to maintain interest, we're missing a great opportunity to market soaring with the WGC only coming here once in a blue moon (too costly to ship equipment/teams). Give much credit to the WGC organizers and directors for mobilizing this. However, maybe they should have recruited a bigger, more aggressive, PR effort with SSA assistance? The Spot tracking only includes a few gliders, perhaps because of tactical issues for the pilots. Even a delayed, but more expansive, tracking would boost spectator interest. Don't mean to be a complainer. Cudos to all who are putting in their time/effort to make a successful competition (and to DB for winning Day 2 in the new Concordia)! |
