Did you know that the new IPC rules clarify selection, semi-final and final rounds?
posted: Feb 8th, 2007 Wednesday, August 9th of 2006, was a challenging day for IPC's Meet Director Dr. Rainer "Exi" Hoenle, and also for the teams and competitors at the World Meet 2006 in Germany. The weather situation was already frustrating enough, and it did not look like it would get any better soon. The forecast did not offer much hope, and Dr. Hoenle tried to beat the weather whenever there was a slight chance. The situation was not enjoyable for anybody. The Meet Director had to take chances and send the teams even though the weather was critical and re-jumps could be necessary. (more)
