    "What the hell are you doing? This is my dog!" cries the horrified owner of the fussy and hungry beast which was stroken in the middle of camp site by a shoe right to the head just now. The sun beats down to tents as usual, a front line passed over the north part of Italy during last night and except for a higher humidity this day looks flyable again.

    "Overburned fats are not healthy at all," somebody claims and an extremely heat reigns at a taking off area as it did every previous day. The picture of gruelling climbing one hundred vertical meters forces German pilots including Czechs Tomas Brauner and David Ohlidal to go to the next taking off point which is located under the road on the contrary, they unpack their canopies and land on the top of the hill after rising the height they need. But David Ohlidal falls so hard that rescuers run to bring him round immediately. Happily, he is shell-shocked only.

    Organizers declare 53.8km long task at noon which leads zig-zag through neighbourhood over five turning points and the goal is located in Suello village, as usual. In view of the need to finish whole competition soon and announce the winners in the evening the starting window is open at half past twelve already and the air start half an hour later. A task deadline is specified simultaneously and all pilots must land till five o'clock.

    High clouds near slowly in front of an atmospherical front coming from the west side and nobody is waiting at the taking off point unnecessarily. However a rising up is relatively easy cloudbases forms in a height 1700 meters above sea level only and nobody desires to fly inside the cloud remembering yesterday's warning penalty.

    The sky becomes covered with clouds before 3 p.m. completely, thermals become weak very quickly and what is more the noticable wind from the southwest side starts to blow. Pilots start to fall down, just three of them reach the goal finally.

    The fastest pilot of this day and a winner of today's task is Radek Vecera from Czech Republic, as he made up his mind yesterday. Andreas Malecki from Germany arrives two minutes later and Kaoru Ogisawa from Japan lands 21 minutes behind Andreas.

    The winner of the total ranking of this competition is Christian Maurer from Switzerland, Czech Martin Orlik is the second and Max Jeanpierre from France is the third.

    Petra Krausova landed on the 32nd kilometer prematurely and thus she fel to the second position in women category and a winner is Ewa Wisnierska from Poland. Marina Olexina from Russia finished as the third.

    Swiss nation won the nation category and left Czechs and Frenchmen behind.

    My final thanks belong this time to God exclusively for the Monday's overcast sky and a cold front passing over after that. It saved not only my life but also the others who are not used to an extremely heat. Although that cyclone and torn tents, that was too much.

    Well, see you at the last PWC competition in Portugal two weeks later and at the Czech Championship in Slovenian Tolmin next month.
