Krushevo Paragliding Euro Midway Through

Sunny weather but sometimes weak conditions does not make this European championship a piece of cake.

Five tasks have been flown and four maximum are still to come, weather permitting. The game is a tight one, although the French Honorin Hamard, Laurie Genovese and their team have a significant lead (respectively 117, 125 and 92 points). Everything is still possible. Hold your breath and follow the event on Airtribune and Flymaster.

Women at goal

By voting a specific rule during its last Plenary, CIVL allowed to increase by a third the number of women that would have been usually accepted. These women are faring good, making goal, entering the task top 10…

On rest day, a special meeting was held to discuss women in competition and what the CIVL can do to help promote more participation.

Also, last February CIVL created a "Women's Dynamic" working group with a dedicated page on the CIVL site.
