The talented young fancier Wendela Wieresma has been winning races and national championships season after season. She has been impressive again in 2020, taking a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Chimay of 13,945 pigeons.

With the season taking off later than usual (due to the coronavirus), Wendela decided to darken her pigeons for the first time, right until they did their first training flights. Her pigeons have been returning home a lot quicker in recent weeks, and her racing hens were showing to be in particularly good form. She had the fastest bird in the rayon twice: in Telgte (160km) of 2,744 pigeons and in Sittard (263km) of 2,610 pigeons. And she recorded some promising prize percentages as well, with 75% (39/52) and 67% (35/52) respectively. But her most notable performance came in Chimay last weekend:

Chimay, 28th of June 

The middle distance race from Chimay took off on 28th of June in Province 10, involving 13,945 pigeons. Wendela had basketed 40 birds for this event, and they did quite well:
