Hello everybody,

Today is making a beautiful summer afternoon here in the city of Lucenek, Slovakia.  The emotion of the moment seems not to fit in my chest.  Surely that one day I would make the dream of my life, now I feel the sweet taste of victory.  I feel happy and accomplished; having gone up to the podium of the FAI World Championship twice, along with my teammates from the U.S. Parachute Team and friends from Russian Team and Chinese Teams.  It's an indescribable feeling! Dreams have been fought over the last 34 years.  I do still not believe! It seems to be all as magic as a hallucination dream!

 

Early in the championship all began in a climate of very positive vibes.  It was for me reason of much pride to parade in the opening ceremony carrying our flag.  To get here was not easy, but the important thing is that everything is gone and now I live a unique moment.  I can not think of anything else! The reason is joy and deserves to celebrate my beautiful medals, trophies and certificates in the coming days ... months ... years....!



I do not know what will happen with my life going forward.  It says the popular adage; "The future belongs to God."  But if it depends on my will, I will continue flying in the world championships's skies.  Dream came true in real-life!  Mission accomplished.  And despite my goal has been achieved I know myself; to leave for there competing into the skies-out skies-in, is the reason of my well to live!
 

My most sincere votes of gratitude to all; FAI, USPA, Slovakia Skydiving Association, Organizers of the 30th FAI World Meet, Sponsors of the event, the media in general and the folks of the STAFF. Thanks to all competitors, FAI Judgers, my teammates of the USA Team, our team leaders…  a special thanks to Cheryl Stearns! You know what I mean! A good coach makes all the difference!!! : )  Great to have her as a friend, coach and teammate! Also I would like to say Thanks to my family, my skydiving friends, no-skydiving friends,  and all those that have contributed and helped me to realize the dreams of my life.  Without you, none of this would be possible.

Blue skies!...  V ♡ e i...
