Well done.

2022 JWGC Czechia-August 11-Another 3 hour area task for the Club Class. From the organizers this am: "Another day in the gliding paradise. The amazing results, weather and the smooth course of the competition so far were rightfully celebrated yesterday at the international evening. Huge thanks belong to everyone, who wholeheartedly shared their culture and created an amazing atmosphere at the party. Despite everyone really enjoying the evening, it needed to be stopped a bit earlier, because today we have another day with ideal gliding weather very similar to yesterday. The last few days are the most crucial for the competition and there is no time to rest. Hopefully, pilots and their crews managed to get some sleep in the night and they will be flying like the professionals they are once again. Today both classes have AAT tasks for 3 hours to the east of Tábor." mcmaster_99

WGC Czechia-August 10-3 hour area task for today. From the Organization this am: "After a difficult yesterday, we are back on track and preparing for another competition day. The weather will be similar to yesterday with an increased quantity of cirrus clouds. The plan is to fly 3 hours-long AAT today, which is expected to allow very high speeds in such good weather and also a very high level of safety as both classes are flying to two very different areas. The club class will be visiting our southern neighbours in Austria whereas the standard class will be flying all the way to our friends in Germany. We look forward to the international evening, which will happen this evening." mcmaster_99
Launches to begin at noon, local time. Tracking for Club Class: https://glideandseek.com/?taskOneUrl=http://www.soaringspot.com/en/junior-world-gliding-championships-2022-tabor-2022/tasks/class-club/task-10-on-2022-08-10&viewport=49.18341,14.94833,9

2022 JWGC Czechia-august 8-304km racing task for the Club Class today. Their gate opened at 12:08 local time. Morning news from the organizers: "Today we woke up to a cold morning which will turn into a pleasant competition day. The direction of the tasks will today lead the pilots to the west according to the weather forecast. Few cumulus clouds can be expected. Pilots will fly over 300 km, which is appropriate training for the longer tasks, which are planned for tomorrow. The weather will probably stay suitable for the competition the whole week, so stay tuned for challenging but exciting races." mcmaster_99

2022 JWGC Czechia-August 7-Back in the air for mcmaster_99 for a 275 km racing task. Their gate opened at 12:08pm local. Information from the organizers: "After two free days, in which pilots could rest and regain some energy for the next week of the competition, the weather will be good enough today for another competition task. A clear blue sky with occasional cumulus clouds is expected today. The weather will not stay flyable very long, therefore the pilots will have to fly fast, but that should be their goal every day. Some of them might use skills they gained yesterday when they had the opportunity to fly the Czech classic L-13 Blaník."
