2015 Santa Cruz Flats Race - day 7 »

Gerolf and Molly Moyes comment

Davis Straub|Gerolf Heinrichs|Jon "Jonny" Durand jnr|Santa Cruz Flats Race 2015

Gerolf Heinrichs:

 I just read on the Oz Report that Davis called Jonny's victory in Arizona a "surprise victory". What a silly comment about a pilot who has probably won more international competitions in the last 10 years than any other competitor! No, Davis, a surprise victory would be if YOU would ever win an international competition.

Gerolf Heinrichs:

Congratulations to both of you, Jonny and Kraig - I think either of you would sure have deserved to win that one.

Molly Moyes: Good comment on Davis

Davis Straub:

 Hi Molly, what a not surprising comment from you. :-)

Thanks, Gerolf, for keeping up with the Oz Report. Always nice to know I have a loyal reader, well, at least one.

Of course, the comment about Jonny's "surprising" win, was that it was a surprise. Pedro had held everyone off all week. He was in the lead by over 200 points after six days. All he had to do was make goal and he would have won the competition.

Now, of course, it is not surprising that Jonny can win a hang gliding competition (as you rightly point out). What was surprising was that (as I point out) Pedro did not make goal and therefore Jonny won.

I hope that that clarifies for you why I would use the term "surprising" in this context.
