9- Les bénévoles au rendez-vous. More than 200 volunteers

Comme chaque année, les organisateurs de l'AJEF derrière Jean-Louis COPPET et ses équipes ont pu compter sur plus de 200 bénévoles avant, pendant et après les Jeux.

Without the 220 volunteers, there would have been no Games. Thanks everybody!

Les comptes ont été faits: 2.955 heures de bénévolat. Joli boulot!

They gave about 3.000 hours of their time for the European Championship. Congrats!

Idem pour la troisième place où Hans Lolkema et Aaron Neighbour n'ont pu se départager.

The open competition

• Scott Rider (England)
• Sebastian Wenta (Poland)
• Aaron Neighbour (Australia)
• Hans Lolkema (Holland)
• Uli Muller (Germany)

The five of them competed in the Open class.

“Wenta won the 22-lb. Braemar stone with a class putt of 44’ 2”, surpassing the ground record previously held by Scotland’s Gregor Edmunds,” Brebner said, and “in the 16-lb. open stone, Rider pulled out a rip-roaring putt of 54’ 4” for the win over Wenta, who placed second with 51’ 4”.

“In the 28-lb. weight for distance Rider again showed excellent form, winning with his throw of 80’ 6”.

   

“The 56-lb. weight for distance was a duel between Wenta and Rider, both going all out. Wenta prevailed with a throw of 44’ 2”, a new ground record and a personal best.

“Wenta kept up his winning form in the 16-lb. hammer, topping out at 129’ 1” and he also won the 22-lb. hammer, making 107’ 11”.

“The caber, an 18’ and 140-lb. implement, was tossed by Wenta for three perfect 12:00 results,” said Brebner.

Rider won the 56-lb. weight for height to get right back in the hunt, ending the competition in a tie with Sebastian Wenta.
