Most of the long-distance events in Belgium are between 650 km and 750 km in the air distance, although it is insufficient compared with the long distance of international events, but the frequency of running the race is still relatively high.
The data shows that from the first Limoges, which started on June 8, to the last long distance race in Libonne on August 3, ended. In just two months, Belgium has hosted a total of 9 long-distance races, on average, almost "one game a week". The major competitions are in full swing, and the famous and powerful have competed in the field, and the scene is not lively.
Some of these long distance winners are old friends we know, such as Joel Foshaot, Gino Crick, etc., whose excellent results seem to indicate that they are still in the "year of playing", even in the face of many new pigeons.
I. Limoges I
Belgium raced the first national race against Limoges I, with a total of 17,347 pigeons released. In this race, the veteran GOOSSENS JOS's BE19-6120819 deep rainy yellow-eyed pigeon returned with a distance of 681.614 km and a velocity of 1313.74 m/min, the fastest flight over the air distance, and later won the 1st national Limoges I against 17,347 pigeons.
Watch how happy the old man is smiling
Second, Valens
The Valens race is an old birds race, with a basket of 6,056 pigeons on 15 June. It's a tough long distance race, and the pigeons have to fly over the Rhône Valley, and it's not easy to get home. Because of this, the Valens Race, although it collects fewer than 10,000 pigeons a year, is still in the spotlight. After a fierce competition, the pigeon was clocked at 15:27 on 18th June, with a distance of 678.814 km and an average velocity of 1228.33 m/min, the owner of the pigeon was Joel Foschhaot, after Armando's shot, the veteran pigeon was revived and won another first prize in Valence this year.
This pigeon doesn't have Armando ancestry, and maybe everyone wants the secret of "turning stones into gold"

Who says women are inferior to men?
Although the appearance is gorgeous, the hands that have experienced vicissitudes still show that it is not easy to raise pigeons
