Test event for 2014 European Paragliding Championship
We have five fine flying days with excellent weather high cloud base and interesting routes. The organizers have managed to satisfy all tastes. They made the first three days with long complicated tasks most favoured by the experienced pilots. The less experienced were happy with the last two tasks which were easier and let almost every one make the goal. “The FAI observers have highly praised the event’s organization level and said its definitely sufficient to hold a European Championship 2014” - says Zeljko Ovuka - the head of the organizing team - “We can consider our event a success.” Congratulations to Zeljko and his team who have done much effort to arrange this very dynamic competition.
Overall
- Michal Gierlach (241)
- Dmitry Korolev (47)
- Daria Krasnova (123)
The first place in overall undoubtedly belongs to Michal Gierlach (POL). He has won 2 of 5 tasks and in others was in very near to victory. The second place belong to Dmitry Korolev (RUS) who showed a stable good result through the whole competition. The third is won by Daria Krasnova (RUS) who got it in a hard competition with a polish pilot Klaudia Bulgakow.
Overall results
Women
- Daria Krasnova (69)
- Klaudia BULGAKOW (708)
- Dominika Kasieczko (140)
Throughout a whole competition we have witnessed a real duel between Daria Krasnova (RUS) and Klaudia Bulgakow (POL), not only in Women but also for the place in Overall. This rivalry showed almost equal results during all the event. Still Klaudia made a mistake in task 5 - being 4 km ahead of the leaders she forgot to take the last waypoint so she had to return and eventually lost some points that allowed Daria to have the win. The third place belongs to Dominika Kasieczko (POL).
Women results
Teams
