Florian Bront – Winner of First Place in the Overall Release
An important race due to the high number of pigeons and participants, as well as the wide geographical area of the counties involved, the Karlovy Vary stage was won, in the pigeon ranking, by a top fancier from Arad County. His name is Florian Bront, from the village of Udviniș. He entered 36 pigeons in the Karlovy Vary race and won 1st place overall with the hen RO-2023-0053112, which arrived at 16:39:54. Her recorded speed was 1,232.85 m/min.
1st Place in the Fancier Ranking – The Weiss+Liep Team
In the overall fanciers ranking, 1st place went to the Weiss+Liep team, composed of fanciers Zoltan Weiss and Werner Liep. Mentor and apprentice, Zoltan Weiss competes under this partnership out of respect for Werner Liep, a German fancier from whom he learned the secrets of pigeon racing and from whom he has acquired most of his pigeons. Their result is even more impressive considering they entered only 4 pigeons. All four were ranked, with their top two pigeons (which formed the scoring team) placing 3rd and 96th in the overall release, and 1st and 21st in their county! Their total score was 13.72!
