EYES ON THE PRIZE
Lis Adriana from Indonesia watches closely.
The tension built slowly over 12 rounds in
Paragliding Accuracy, but by the final, pilots
and spectators were on the edge of their seats.
HIT THE MARK
The ultimate achievement in the discipline is
achieving a ‘DC’ (dead centre), hitting the 2cm
diameter centre spot. In this competition,
there were only 11 DCs scored in more than
220 flights.
TOUCHDOWN
Pilots are towed up and release when they
decide. Assessing wind direction and strength
is key, as is fine control of the glider. Here,
bronze medallist Goran Djurkovic gets close to
dead centre.
