Task 4 of the World Cup Krushevo event has just started. live tracking should start shortly. Start of Speed Section (SSS) was set for 9:15pm AEST.

Also worth viewing is the pre race competitor interviews including our very own Australian wing designer from Flow Paragliders Felipe Resende discussing the soon to be released new XC Racer En-D , and well known podcaster Gavin MCCLURG talking about race tactics.

Yesterday's World Cup Macodonia Task 3 Australian placings, all Aussies in the top 50 of a very strong 123 field world Cup comp.

13th Felipe REZENDE
33rd Phillip MANSELL
37th Peter SLADE
38th Wally ARCIDIACONO
49th Gareth CARTER

Three tasks down of a likely 6 task World Cup event and this is how the Aussies are ranked over all:

16th Felipe REZENDE
18th Gareth CARTER
37th Phillip MANSELL
56th Peter SLADE
65th Wally ARCIDIACONO

Here's a 3D replay of Task 3 - best viewed on a large screen as the packed 60+ pilot gaggles along the full course can be very confusing when viewed on a phone display:

Your view into the world's great adventures.

Two amazing events to follow online at the moment!

1: The x-pyr hike and fly race across the top of Spain… First time Aussie competitor Richard Binstead is giving it a good crack sitting in about 20th on day two.

2: The Romanian PWC (paragliding World Cup) started last night with 8 Aussie pilots competing.
Great to watch the live tracking and see the gaggles forming and pilots trying to gain advantage. 10 time Australian Champion Gareth Carter started well with a 13th and Phillip Mansell won serial class on his XC racer.
