       Championships PHOTO SHOTS

Poland's
 Piotr Lorenc fished brilliantly to win 
A section on day one
with 3.975kg.

The silver individual medallist from WC2001
had a typical mixed
bag of perch and bream.

14th overall, France's Didier Guessard fished his usual consistent style day one, 2 points, day two 9 points.

Another
consistent performer was Hungary's Attila Nagy,

12th overall,
with 2 points and 8 points.



Francois De Schepper of Belgium had a tough day one with Christophe Gazannois (F) and Gunter Horler (D), Francois ended the day with 2.920kg for 3 points.

Italy's
Umberto Ballabeni with one of the bream that gave him 4 points and
2.775kg 
on day one.

 


Pole cups, allowed for the fist time at this years championships

...but the crystal clear conditions were not ideal.

Stefano Defendi of Italy had a good first World Championship..

...note the small cone shaped net Stefano used to stop his pole slipping into the lake..

..a good idea.

Top man for Portugal was Mario Bapitista who fished consistently well over the two days beating all around him.

 

  England's
Will Raison had to summon all his experience
on the clear flat calm Belgian lake.

You need at
 least two heads, as Scotland's
David Corcoran
discovered  with Alan Scotthorne
at the next peg.

World Championships
Slovakia 2003
results

 

 

Lake Willebroek
was good for competitors and spectators, this was strangely only spoiled by the  unusual Belgian weather.

The hot calm conditions made the fishing difficult.
