The organizers at the 2017 Worlds have corrected their mistaken list of women pilots registered for the worlds. To be valid the competition requires eight women pilots and representation from four countries.

Three women from three other countries are registered for the open world competition which takes place at the same time and place. 145 pilots are registered for 150 positions.

There has been no word on how pilots other than the original pilots from their national teams will be chosen.

Four pilots, two countries

Confusion reigns in Brasilia as the Brazilians can't figure out pilots' gender or intentions. The list of entrants into the women's worlds includes Rohan Taylor, which I'm sure that he is not happy about, as well as three women who are registered for the Worlds, which the Brazilians appear to think are for men only.

6 Akiko Suzuki Jpn - Japan
7 Niki Longshore Usa - United States
8 Rohan Taylor Aus - Australia

So instead of seven pilots from five countries, which is what they thought that they had yesterday when they wrote to me and assumed that they would get an eighth very soon to make the women's worlds valid (did they just throw in Rohan?), they actually have four pilots (three from Japan) and two countries represented.

What World Championship will the women be going to in Brasilia?

What World Championship will the women be going to in Brasilia?

If less than eight show up, there won't be a Women's Worlds

Chisato Nojiri|CIVL|Corinna Schwiegershausen|Jamie Shelden|Niki Longshore|Yoko Isomoto

http://ozreport.com/21.55#3

Right now if you want to go to the 2017 Women's Worlds in Brasilia you don't know if there will even be one. That requires at least eight women pilots from four different countries. At the last Women's Worlds in Annecy, France, there were twenty one women. But that is Europe, and the cost of getting to Annecy for European women is pretty small. Nothing like making it to Brasilia.

CIVL is very worried that there won't be enough women who want to go and can afford to go to Brasilia to make for an actual Women's Worlds. So right now women could be registering for a competition that won't exist. Not exactly a preferred situation.

If there was only one worlds in Brasilia in August and women were allowed to enter under a 6+1 or 6+2 arrangement, then this uncertainty would go away. Women would have a competition that was definitely happening and if eight women or more from four countries signed up, then a new Women's World Champion would be crowned.

Here are some responses I got to my article about the Women's Worlds linked to above:

Jamie Shelden writes:

CIVL delegates from several countries, including the UK, Germany, Russia, Japan and France were at the CIVL HG committee meeting in February and actively involved in this discussion and decision. I mention these specific countries because these are ones that have female competition pilots that could potentially be chosen for their national (“open”) teams. The delegates from the UK and Germany confirmed that their female pilots would not be chosen for the open team. Francoise, from France, is one that I have heard could be chosen for her national open team. However, the French delegate was at the hang gliding committee meeting and participated in the discussion. He never mentioned that Francoise could be chosen (I don’t know if that was just rumor that I heard or if it is a real possibility) and he voted for the current plan. The Japanese delegate was also actively involved in the committee discussion and also agreed with the current plan. He never mentioned any possibility that any of the female pilots in Japan could potentially be nominated for their national open team.

Sasha is one of the most active proponents of having completely separate women’s worlds, with entirely different starts, tasks, etc. She argued vehemently for this when CIVL had an open meeting of pilots in Krushevo last summer. So, I know this is not a problem for her. I have also heard that she does not intend to compete (either way) in Brasilia.

The bottom line is that I don’t believe this is an issue anyway. Something could change, but my understanding is that there will not likely be 8 women in Brasilia. I have heard that the Japanese will send 2, 1 will come from Germany, 1 from France, 1 from the UK and possible 1 or 2 from the US. So, if 7 women register, they will all be given special treatment and will fly the “open” task with everyone else. If 8 women register, potentially one woman will have to choose. It would be interesting to hear from the French that is a possible issue.

Alexandra, Sasha, <<multikss>> writes:

Lately there was an open letter published which proposed changing the local regulations of the Worlds in Brasilia in a way that women would fly and score together with men. According to this suggestion the Women title would have been given to the female scored the highest in the general list.

Since this letter seemed to open a discussion and get some public attention, I would like to step in and express an alternative opinion on the subject.

My opinion is that having separate tasks for women is better than having the same ones with men. It allows fair competition between women, which is necessary condition for defining the new world female champion. Indeed we have to separate two things -- General Worlds and Women Worlds from each other. In my opinion women would rather need to focus on what they really want to do -- to compete for their national team together with men in order to try wining the World Champion Title or to compete for the Women World Champion Title. I think sitting on two chairs and trying to do all at the same time hurts both ideas, especially it deprives Women Hang Gliding from being taken seriously.

It could be seen in Forbes Worlds that flying the same task with men instantly brings up the opportunity of being helped on the radio by the other male members of the team, which I find un-sporty.

Most of the time in a mixed task women are not in the front rows, so they resort to "follow-up and hang-on" strategy which drifts them off from their own decision making. I strongly believe that we want to define not the best follower but the best leader as a female world champion.

So if choosing from the current option of having separate tasks and the joined task suggested, I would personally stay with what I see is fair, that is the first one.

In addition to said above I'd like to mention a couple more things. My seeing is that the idea of having both male and female Worlds at the same time actually hurts already rather weak attention to female hang gliding. If CIVL has an intention to bring more women in sport by attracting the public to follow the women's competitions, then it would have more significant effect if the competition took place at different from the general World's time. This way it would be taken as a standing alone event. I understand that this option causes a lot problems, such as a need to run the whole Brazilian event for longer time, which is more expensive. For the national federations it would also make additional hassle like for instance organizing the retrieve. But unfortunately the situation in hang gliding is so, that women are presented as a disproportional minority. Minorities in sports inevitably cause more expenses for all sides. That is why it is so important to try to get more women into the sport, rather than mixing them up with men during the Worlds.

It is not a secret that the flying style in FAI-1 comps differs from rather relaxed events of cat. 2. A big part of potential female participants will be discouraged from participating in the FAI-1 competition when they have to stage and fly together with a hundred rather aggressive men.

I understand that nowadays it is very unlikely to make separate women worlds, when we basically see more and more of our female pilots dropping off comps, but essentially these are the points to consider in the future if we want more attention for this part of the sport.

I wrote back to her:

I find it very interesting that we agree. I think that everyone agrees that it would be much better to have a separate women’s championship. The problem is with Brasilia only and the fact that the two competitions present a conflict.

Given that there is going to be a world championship in Brasilia, then it should be one championship to get rid of the conflict.

Corinna Schwiegershausen <<corinna>> writes:

Davis stated: 1) Mostly men making decisions for women.

Davis is right here. Just for your understanding - not even the top 5 women, including me, had been asked and given the pro and contra arguments before this "vote" at the meeting in Salzburg had been made. Françoise had no idea about this decision, neither did Yoko or Chisato when I asked them. The only ones of the whole female world ranking that might have known about this vote and its result were Kathleen, because her husband Gordon was in the meeting, and Jamie of course.

Why were there not more female voices to be heard and seen at the meeting in Salzburg? Well, I would have come immediately and at my own costs, had I been invited to join this meeting that concerns our female hang gliding world! I have actually made the effort to contact and talk to Françoise, Yoko, Chisato and Sasha, I didn´t get an answer from Kathleen or Claudia, but I also talked to Niki Longshore. I talked to the women who are most likely to join the Worlds in Brasilia, which are the ones this topic concerns, and who should have had a voice in this process I think.

To me, this vote seems to have been a faulty process, taking place over the head of these hopefully 8 or 9 women who are concerned, and who could be affected in a very negative way by this decision. It should be revised and a new vote taken by the women concerned, the ones that will compete in Brasilia.

We want to motivate the rest of the flying girls by showing that if you are focused and dedicated, if you keep flying and learning, you can fly the same tasks like the guys, and you can win an overall task in an international comp like Sasha just did in Australia, that you can in fact even rank 15th overall in an open worlds, like I did in Big Spring. It is important that women show up in the top 100 in the world ranking - but if you artificially cut out the ones who are most likely to get there (Françoise, Sasha, Yoko, Chisato and me) by forcing us to decide between either flying a women’s worlds without gaining sustainable world ranking points, or flying in the open with our team (that we are qualified and by our NAC nominated for), thus having the opportunity to score high points in the highest scoring comp in the world, it might probably destroy the possibility to get a valid new women´s world champion, which is also important in our sport!

Jamie said: I seems to me that Corinna wants women to have special treatment at competitions.

Françoise, Sasha and me are nominated by our NACs into the national team of 6, but if you want to put it like that, yes in fact I am asking for a special treatment for the other 5 or 6 women who are likely to compete in Brasilia and eligible to fly a women's worlds, to be allowed to compete in the overall worlds as well, so all of them can score good world ranking points, move up and be "more visible" to the rest of the world - to get into the guys´ heads that women can actually fly, sometimes even quite well. From a safety and endurance point of view, the 8 or 9 women I know of who are likely to join are all able to safely fly with the guys in Brasilia, as most of us have done that for years.

Further on, Jamie states: Encouraging women to compete is better accomplished by working on the women that aren't already competing at the level Corinna is. We don't need to encourage the Corinnas, Francoises and Kathleens of the hang gliding scene, we need to encourage less experienced women to compete - those very women who are NOT planning to come to Brasilia. Combining the events will not encourage those women, it will only satisfy the few that are not in need of encouragement.

But maybe even the Corinnas, Françoises and Kathleens need an encouragement to see what all their investment into our sport is good for? And I'm not just talking about around 6000€ that it costs everyone of us (from Europe) to go and compete at the Worlds in Brasilia, or around 10000€ a year (maybe more for the ones who don't fly on standby…) to keep our gear up to date and going to international competitions, but also about our voluntary, idealistic investment.

Keep in mind that by the current decision on local regulations for Brasilia, CIVL is not just "not encouraging" three of the women who dedicate most time, means and idealism to get into their open national team, but in fact CIVL is PUNISHING us three! Us three hardest, but the other 5 or 6 pretty hard as well. I know you want to do this to help the sport, but in this particular case of Brasilia, you could unfortunately reach the opposite.

I have not only been considering and talking to the top 10 women in the sport, but as you might remember from Monte Cucco and Tegelberg, Jamie, I have always been happy to pull other women along, share sponsorship, and in fact organize several training camps. I have worked voluntarily at the "Ladies Challenge," an international comp in Greifenburg, organized by DHV to support women to fly safer and better in competitions. As I have done this volunteer work for about 15 years now, in fact I know quite a few of the "vast majority" of the world ranking list that you like to talk about. Let's face it - at the moment, only 14 women in the world would be eligible to fly at a women's worlds without exemption, that's why I would like a decision for Brasilia to be made by the women who really are concerned - the ones who will go and compete! Just for this competition.

Apparently CIVL is unmoved by these arguments.

http://www.hgoutlanders.com/pre-worlds-day-5-task-4/

The most special thing about flying in Brasilia is the Esplanade goal field. A perfect 118km task finally brought us back here to the city today. There’s nothing more exciting that watching the lead gaggle come across the tops of the tall buildings and set up an approach in what is basically a park between the two directions of traffic – four lanes each on both sides. The field seems pretty big when you see it empty. But with twelve gliders setting up to land, especially in light and variable conditions, it quickly shrinks.

Olav Opsanger and Jonny Durand came in pretty close (with Olav first), even setting up and landing together. Another ten or so came in one after the other behind them in the first gaggle.

Tom, who is in first overall as of yesterday arrived with half of his battens tips broken and sticking 4 or 5 inches out of their pockets. Apparently he inadvertently did what he called a “½ loop” in air so strong and turbulent that he thought he would tumble. He pulled out of it at high speed and his carbon basebar slammed him in the throat while the batten tips were busy breaking off. All that fun, and he believes he may have unintentionally violated the airspace as well, in a climb late in the task that he just couldn’t get out of in time. It’s really going to mix things up if he gets a zero for the day.

Wolfi high 15 minutes before the start.

Had a bit of bummer today. Was sitting in 13th place in the pre worlds here in Brazil, but I think I might drop quiet a few positions after I accidentally breached the 9000ft ceiling. (Which can be very hard to stay under while flying in such strong conditions!) And then I miss judged the final glide into the city and had to land in someone's backyard on the lake 3km short of goal. At least I got to have swim while waiting for a ride.

A tough, stable day today with a base barely higher than 1800m gave us a late launch and a hard time in the air. We could take off at 3pm, and the race started at 3.30,...

It won't be a high scoring day though because nobody made goal today. Rain tomorrow, but a good day on Thursday hopefully.

First, Jamie Shelden has a Moyes Litespeed RX 3. Because she is a big girl she wanted a custom version with the big control frame. She's the only one apparently. She has a history with Gerolf Heinrichs and he has not been helpful to here (according to her). She is getting great help from Kraig Coomber, but still there is too much bar pressure. As far as I'm concerned, gliders are always a custom deal.

Second, Wolfgang Siess has a little bit of a crumbling up problem with his outboard carbon leading edge with at the outboard sprog on his Wills Wing T2C. It appears as though the heat here was a bit too much for this leading edge and it wrinkled and cracked and he noticed only after he landed on the first day. He noticed that the leading edge was soft.

He has a new outboard carbon leading edge in now and is getting Swiss Nick's glider shipped here for parts. This is the first time that this has been reported on a Wills Wing carbon leading edge.

Third, Chisato Nojiri from Japan was in in the 52 position at goal on the first day two places ahead of Corinna, to win the day for the women's competition (the Women's Worlds). Kathleen Rigg was in third, the last person to make goal. She had turtled earlier in the launch paddock.
