World Cup Lyon

Aachen Champion, European Champion, World Ranking no 1 will they still be able to continue to impress.

Yes, they just did it again today, taking their first step and victory into the World Cup season in the Grand Prix, and at the same time making their entrance for the exclusive +80% Grand Prix club with 81,195% victory today in Lyon.

Anyone else going from 71% to 81% in 1 year?

A quick look down their competition record they started out in Grand Prix last year end of November in Kronenberg with a 3rd place, scoring 71,739% in their first ever Grand Prix both of them.

What makes their performance +80%

They enter the arena as if its part of their daily routine. Both fully focused all the way, solid enterance and go, first extension, really nice but from H2R point of view with a small kind of hmmm will they get there today. But solid exercise by exercise they are just showing why they are currently World no 1 combination.
