    "There will be a calm weather tomorrow," the optimists were promising yesterday's evening after a fourth cup and as it shows in the morning they were very far from the truth. The Poles even got melancholic and left for the Italian Bassano del Grappa and there is only a flattened meadow left after their tents.

    There is a decision made on a morning briefing in the camp Kamzik and that is to take a cable railway at 10:00 to the launch of Nova hola and meanwhile is the entire competitive field getting up, one of the three members of the "researcher team" Peter Vrabec is coming down with a bruised ribs.

    "Such a wind can get your nails away from your fingers," comments someone the naked feet of Miro Janciar and the measuring probe shows on the launch in blows 10m/s. The mast on the upper station of the cable railway makes a high pitch and there is nothing else to do than to get into the horizontal position and wait on.

    After all the wind is weakening around noon and there is a 29km long discipline announced on a briefing - it has got two turning points, one in Koncita and the second in Ludrova with a goal in Benesova. Waiting for the first brave one finishes Juraj Ciernik at 12:45 with his start, in 20 minutes followed by Jaroslav Janduch. The rest of the racers is just watching their miserable ceilings in a brisk south west wind.

    "Come on people, fly for God's sake!" the director of the race Miro Janciar is moaning after the half an hour of idleness and only at 14:00 are some pilots eager to start. Meanwhile is Jaroslav Janduch getting down behind the ridge of Koncita and he is followed by Juraj Ciernik 20 minutes later. Juraj is forced to land under the first turning point; Jaroslav Janduch makes it to the 4 kilometers before the goal. None of the other ones has got the courage to take off in relatively small height behind the ridge and therefore today's discipline cannot get any points. Well, maybe tomorrow…
