Bulgarian National Gliding Championship - 2023

Day 7 - Race on

The last day of the competition was finally marked by good conditions.

A 190 km task was set.

Half of the teams were still on retrieve so an individual time task was set.

All competitors managed to complete the task altough the latest start was marked as 16:30.

Ivelin Kalushkov was first for the day with average speed of 82 kph followed closely by Nikolay Stoyanov.

Due to late scoring a mistake occured which unfortunately was noticed after the price giving ceremony.

After the pre-last task re-score the final results were:

1-st - Ivelin Kalushkov

2-nd Georgi Georgiev

3-rd - Todor Simeonov

A difference of only 1 point was separating 3-rd and 4-th place.

We thank all the sponsors for making this happen:

Congratulations to the winners!

Day 4 - Task 1

And after a few days of tricky weather ... we got a tricky task. 201 km task was set with a forecast for strong conditions and reliable cloudlines. Day started strong with amazing skies at 10:30, unfortunately strong inversion above cloudbase caused horizontal overdevelopment and big shadows with unreliable cloud cycles. Despite that the competitors finished the task with very close times. Looking forward to the next days.
