The scary part is Chris and I have known GG since he was a waist high rock hopper. GO GG

[Ben Calhoun]

He stayed with us in 2002, just a KID. That's sick!

[Disc Player Sports]

Had the whole clan, and more...
There are some nice disc golf people in the world.

[Disc nut]

Well who won? We need a up date.

[El Kabong]

Weather mighta been bad....no updated results from today yet

Anyone know if they threw today?

I am guessing not because they're not allowed on the dry lake bed if it rains...and it's been raining.

Dion Arlyn wins the 2010 WFDF World Distance Championships with a throw off 223 meters in the finals. Longest throws of the weekend included: GG's 245 meters (802 feet) Marc Jarvis 237 meters (777 feet) Jeremy Koling threw 236 meters (774 feet, the longest throw ever with a Discraft disc), GG again @ 231 meters (757 feet), Robbie Bratten "Crushing" one 225 meters (738 feet) and Dion's winning 223 meters (731 feet).

[AK Discer]

I'm confused, how does Dion win it if GG had the longest throw?

[Jamie 'gr8rocshot' Ruane]

GG's wasn't the longest throw in the finals....the throws made earlier in the comp must have been qualifying throws....to get into the finals...that would be my guess.
