Andrii Pshenychnyi and Oleksii Kosylo both from Ukraine.
Third place is Rusian Novak also from Ukraine
Could not be better
Estonia and Hungary took the other team places
No Pressure then
From:Mike Fantham
So nice to hear of the USA junior wins in A and B – congratulations to the winners and the whole team. No pressure on the US F1P team then………
Mike
Unfortunately the USA does not have a F1P team this year. There is a good P flyer, candidate to follow in the steps of Gunder, Lorbiecki, Secor, Malkhasyan,… etc but he was not able to attend. Taking part in a European hosted Champs is a big deal for American kids and their families. At this time uncertainty around covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine plus availability and cost of airfares was a downer this cycle. To attend you have to make the commitment way ahead of time. This year the USA team was smaller than normal and this made it extra tough doing the long retrievals in thermally, breezy conditions. Even before the lost model boxes there were issues from coordinating travel to finding the “favorite” rubber lube was out of stock because of supply chain problems. As we have seen many stepped up to help making it an unforgettable experience.
Thanks all round
