And welcome back to the German Championships presented by [music] MVP Disc Sports. We're on round one back nine action. Front N was filled with highlights and we're back in the [music] booth, back in the castle. I'm here with Chris. Hey guys. Checking out the action [music] out of Sust, Germany, just south of Berlin. And we get Simon leading the way with [music] three under, followed by Teemo. Two under, Carl plus one, and then Martin the local plus three, the lefty speed runner. [music] Yes, I need to come up with a better name for him.

I of course try to give this a bit from the knee chain out left side. So not committed enough. Unfortunate tree back there. >> Yep. Ah team also with a long one. Ah, at least you missed a right side that always feels a bit better in my opinion. You got to explain that. I don't know.
