Ahhh, that makes more sense!

It is a bit worrying that the US is dropping feathers, its preventing most of the UK from going over and competing/supporting their events and visa-versa. Europe and AUS seem to be the only ones running them in earnest.

I am not sure why they are happy to run machines that are double the weight or half the weight but not 30lbs! Why has it been abandoned as a class?
