Narrative:
I was on a VFR flight. There was a crosswind on runway 5 and I was practicing crosswind landing. This approach was stabilized and normal until on final just before touchdown when a sudden gust of wind lifted my upwind (left) wing. While correcting for the sudden gust the right wing touched the runway and the aircraft ground looped into the grass between the runway and taxiway. There were no injuries during this event.
