Anyone have news on the World Cup in Russia?

Last I heard they weren't jumping because of all the fires. This late into what was supposed to be the comp has anyone heard what they plan to do?

Extend the dates?
Relocate?
Cancel?
Reschedule?

I saw this article this morning and it really got me to wondering how long they're going to keep the competitors over there if there is no chance of them jumping. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_russia_fires

On FB this morning competitors were talking about supposedly getting to jump today as a practice day then starting the comp tomorrow.

Nope. It looks like the event was held anyway.

That's fine but what about Canopy Piloting?
Chopped liver?

My reality and yours are quite different.

As usual, the USPA doesn't give a crap about Canopy Piloting. Just like how they allow it to be cast off at nationals!

They were jumping today. Three rounds I think. Lots of fuckers pounding in downwind during Speed rounds. Lovely.

Tuesday is start day, but a lot of teams have not even been able to practice.
Our guys have made about 6 training jumps and that's way more than most.


Rumours of canceling are out there, if the smoke does not abate.

You've been heard (or they finally got around to posting about it anyway).
