Day 3 sunday 24th november

The race is now finished and has been a total success, one of our best championships from all points of view !
On Sunday, a cloudy and cold weather helped all dogs to run faster than in the two previous days.
Competition has been extreme in many classes and the suspens was total with, in one class, two competitors finishing with exactly the same time and both getting a gold medal.

You will find the list of FISTC European Champions at the end of this page. In Middle distance, there were very few changes in the various categories, except in A1 where Gaby Lames (Ger) âssed Jean-Luc Mas (Fra) for the title.

In sprint, most races were really exciting but particularly in B1 where Stephane Poublanc (Fra) was faster today than Arnaud Eggemann (Fra) who finished third with only 2 seconds advance from the fourth. In D1, Belgian musher Stefan Goris was fast enough to beat Andrej Drabik (Slk) and get the title. In Scooter 2 dogs, Anthony Chevalley (Fra) wins the race and the title but Ludovic Brasseur (Bel) has been the fastest on day 2 and 3 and finishes second at only 5 seconds from the first.

In Canicross 1 dog/women, two Czech ladies, Zdenka Duskova and Junior Tereza Hanusova passed the finish line together and were then declared first ex-aequo. A very rare and very nice finish1

The pricing ceremony started perfectly on time at 4 p.m. and all mushers were able to leave early and totally satisfied. Indeed these Championships in Beloeil have been a total success, thanks to the Mayor and the community, and thanks to the perfect organisation of F.B.M.F. and the club Snow Girls Team.

Now we will be waiting for the snow and the FISTC Championships in Auronzo, in February on one of the most beautiful trails existing in Europe !

While in canicross for these first two days we had mass starts, tomorrow they will start with the real time difference a very nice and exciting competition.

 

What is particularly nice is the excellent overall atmosphere due to the perfect Belgian organisation. Yesterday evening all mushers appreciate the excellent musher dinner, and this evening we will have a nice dancing night, in Belgium the motto is « Mush for Fun », even if the competition is taken very seriously !
