Forget Michael Sommer. Some bloke call Lesnza BLANIK won a Gold Medal at
Bejing. I still won't admit it but it appears that Blanik is still going
strong!!!!!
#156. Gold medals, Aluminium painted gold.

Despite the fact that it definitely needs more than a Polish J it is still a
weapon in the right hands.

Thats not a nice thing to say about Tom's 55 Ross, just cause it's Polish.

What makes you think that would make a difference. He won Standard Class in
the 2003 Nationals at Gulgong in Tom Gilbert's SZD 55 and set a new NSW speed
record in the process.

Although Ingo still managed to win pretty much everything in an old Discus A.
I am sure we could find a Discus for Michael somewhere, even just for the
purpose of giving everyone else a chance of winning. :-)

Quite right Terry.
We should hijack Micheal to be one of our own. As the Olympics show
atheletes are mobile in terms of national representation.
And after all, as Ingo explained in an interview in the German flying
magazine AeroKurier about 15 years ago, he was "Deutsche stammige, wahl
Australier" (as best I remember it) which I understand as meaning "of German
origin, by choice Australian".
So how do we get Micheal to choose Australia? An offer would appear to have
to start with the odd spare ASW22BLE or two or three. He would need one for
himself and one for his team compatriot (plus a spare for the odd breakage?)
Then there would be team Micheal travel expenses to cover, and team Micheal
cars (Terry surely you could get Holden to just chuck these in for nothing),
and .... Hmm ....Getting a bit expensive Terry.....
