Corinna made the goal but crashed there: it was not a good landing field, she used her drougue chute too early, hit a tree and fell on the road. She feels good (maybe just broken ankle), but her glider is broken. Some pilots landed on the small fields, breaking uprights, base bars, tails.

...Corinna came in high and threw her drogue chute. Pilots watching from the landing were of the opinion she still needed to sideslip it in and unfortunately the chute makes it difficult to do this pulling the glider straight and tending pull the pilot back slowing the glider. She hit trees and came down on the edge of a road. We sprinted the 250m to her closely followed by the medical assistance. A helicopter took her to hospital where she was treated for concussion and a fractured ankle. Her parents took her home this morning, possibly for surgery on the ankle. Considering the proximity of the road she may be lucky.
Steve remembers pictures of himself that I took and posted (they have since been removed) on the Oz Report many years ago.
And what did Scott Barrett say to me a few weeks ago at the Worlds about Corinna's drogue chute? That it pulled her back, slowing down the glider and making it more difficult for her to flare.
So on the last day, check out Jamie's twitter posts.
Jonny lands 13 km from goal losing the meet on the last day, as Manfred did at the Worlds.
