Again another incremental (20 km) increase in the task length from the preceding day. 55 pilots in goal with Mario Alonzi last into goal at 5:47 over two hours later than Christian.. Christian and Alex were on final glide with Christian higher and going faster when Alex stopped to work some lift thinking perhaps that he wasn't going to make it after all.
Pedro 6th, with pilots clumped together. Petr Polach was out in front but had to find some lift in the last cylinder to be able to make it in fourth ten minutes behind Christian.

Goal field at the Hang Gliding World Championships in northern Italy. I'm feeling tired after 5 hours flying and a 201km flight to goal. This probably ranks as one of my most memorable flights in 30 years of flying hang gliders. The mountains we flew over today are absolutely stunning. I had my doubts about coming here but I was so wrong.
Matjaz Klemencic writes:
Big task was called today at 200 km taking us from Cercivento north to Austria, over Greifenburg, then to Sillian and back to a bit further from Hermagor. I got to the takeoff where at briefing I noticed my Oudie didn't charge yesterday. I must have mistakenly put the cable in and it was 50% battery was ready for 200km. I managed to charge it a bit with power bank from Evan, thank you so much for that.
Since I was running around making this all happen I somehow managed to make a bigger start cylinder which put me back already at start. I flew quite good after and was with Manfred and rest of the gang after Greifenburg. Here the decision of the day was made as we flew over the valley into shitty area with slow speed and horrifying place to fly over so low. I lost the group and had scratched the ridge to get to the Sillian turnpoint.
Then I flew back to Lienz where I got to 3000m and the direct line was tempting again. I crossed the ridge at about 20 m and found out the landing areas are quite further out then expected. Quite some struggle but I made it out of the trap and went ridge racing towards Hermagor. I was too happy with the nice lift on the way and flew to easily only to find that last part is in complete shade and without any lift. I decked in at about 10k short.
Pilots took other lines that were far better today so I am once again not really happy with my performance. Every day I start good, fly a part with good gaggle but somehow I lose the tempo and get myself somewhere in some shitty place. At least I got my wing to climb well today finally, did some strange settings on my wing with turning things the opposite way it should be. Cost me quite some climbing during the race. Now resting time as tomorrow is yet another task.

Eduardo, Grant and Primoz got way ahead of everyone else. Manfred landed out, or so the scoring says so. U have him landing at goal. Maybe he missed a turnpoint?
"When the going gets tough the tough begin to play." In the aftermath of the extraordinary feat of the Italian Alex Ploner, who in fact dominated task 7 with a masterpiece of wit and tactical wisdom seasoned with a clear knowledge of the Friulian skies, the race direction opted for a task not only incredibly long (well over 200km) but even with a landing outside the Italian borders, in neighboring Austria. The dress rehearsals had already been staged a few days ago, with the turning point of task 4 - won from the Alto Cassino di San Cassiano - in the area of Caporetto, in Slovenia. The pilots unanimously asked to be able to engage in even more demanding flights and, once the weather allowed safety on all fronts, they were satisfied with a real mission to the limit of the impossible.
Before moving on to the story of the day, one can not but spend words of praise for Flyve, AeroClub Italia and AeroClub Lega Piloti, who with so many efforts have succeeded in giving to protagonists and enthusiasts something never experienced before even in the maximum expression of this sport , or the world championship competition. Absolute novelty also that concerning the take-off: the nearly 120 remaining in the race have "tasted" today another characteristic mountain of Carnia and precisely the Monte Crostis, Valsecca, in the municipality of Ravascletto, taking flight already from a very high altitude at 1900m . Another wonderful place from which they were able to admire a breathtaking panorama, an appetizer of an epic challenge that surely wrote a page about the history of hang gliding.
The Czech Dan Vyhnalik was among the first to come out in the direction of the first mark; the Dutch Tanzer together with the American Zac Majors, opted instead for a different trajectory. Selenati, after about twenty minutes of the race, took the reins of the flight with speeds that reached almost 90km/h and over, taking advantage of the positive effects of the mountain ranges of the district, trying to imitate yesterday's exploits of compatriot Ploner.
The Colombian Daniel Velez together with the Czech Peter Polach (who delighted the public during the daily live broadcast with live images from his hang glider), closed the gap in a short time, as Selenati was forced to stop to gain overtaken share from the big group positioned higher than him. Having left to make the difference and seek redemption, the strong Friulian had to surrender after a few kilometers, landing unfortunately out of goal. At the turning point in the area of Emberg, where practically everyone arrived following the optimized line, the first to turn was the Swiss Neuenschwander, followed by the Japanese Nagusa, Velez, Smith, Polach and also by our Christian Ciech, second in general individual at 168 points from compatriot Ploner.
Another Japanese person came to light shortly after and we talk about Minoru Kato: taking advantage of one of the classic flying styles of gliders called in technical jargon "a dolphin" (which allows not having to search for thermals flying in fact directed towards the goal at variable speed), was the first to gain the third buoy, followed by Polach, Klemencic, Gricar, Ruhmer, Ploner and the young but enterprising Manuel Revelli, later forced to abandon hostilities even before so many others, a clear sign of the great difficulties today. On the long journey to the cylinder including the area of Sillian, a municipality in the Upper Val Pusteria in East Tyrol, the group fragmented and Neuenschwander also opted for a very different line than the head line which instead preferred the trajectory more short.
Ciech, Ruhmer, Klemencic, Ploner, Oppici and the German Gerd Doenhuber composed the head of the race, advancing more than 90 km/h along the crest of the mountains. The Swiss, with great intuition, has accumulated more than 1000m of difference compared to the others, flying sent to over 105km/h and soon rejoining at the head of the race. As happened to Revelli, in the vicinity of this buoy even the strong Brazilian Glauco Pinto had to land, as did Selenati (see above) and Tanzer who had to say goodbye practically at the same time to dreams of glory.
Meanwhile, the splendid day allowed Markel Neiderman of Sweden to reach 4049m of altitude on his Combat GT, practically a record in this World Championship. A few dozen kilometers from the finish, the head of the race - who chose the optimized trajectory - was formed by the Japanese Kato and among others by the Brazilian Oliveira, by the English Crossingham, by the Germans Woehrle and Gricar, by the French Pollet and Alonzi and from our Oppici and Ploner.
Before the final sprint, at Hermagor (minus 25km on arrival), Gricar and Oliviera opted for full altitude (with thermals of even 6m/s); Minoru Kato together with Pollet, authors of a superlative performance up to that point, instead found themselves in great difficulty losing altitude and for the Japanese there was nothing to do but land before their due, when there was very little to the goal. The Brazilian has thus concluded in first goal after more than four hours of flight (entirely covered by the live broadcast on the official FB page), followed by Crossingham and Gricar. First of the Italians in goal Ploner (fifth) followed by Oppici: Brazil plays the charge and warns our National team, called to defend the 1825 points that separated it from the South Americans at the end of yesterday's task. There will be fun and the last two days of competition (we remind you that from tomorrow to tomorrow the final day of rest will take place and for this reason we invite you to follow the updates on the official FB page) will announce themselves not suitable for the faint of heart.

Alex hung with Christian and Manfred but always 1000' or so higher as they approached the second to last turnpoint. When the three of them out in front of all the other pilots headed toward goal (and the last little turnpoint) Christian was a bit too low as was Manfred. Alex with his extra altitude just kept going and was able to get there three to 1 minutes earlier. Extra altitude helps.
Start from Mount Cuarnan and after a few kilometers, all the pilots have opted for the full altitude on the nearby and well-known Chiampon, an area that usually always gives very good thermals.
At the "ready to go" Peter Polach (Czech Republic), Mario Alonzi (Brazil), Daniel Velez (Colombia), Yuji Suzuki (Japan) and an Australian athlete, at important speeds already over 80 km/h. Selenati, as has often happened in these days from deep knowledge of the Friulian skies, has almost immediately set a different trajectory, followed also by other pilots.
Proceeding towards the first two buoys located in the area of Treppo Carnico and in that of Rigolato, a group including the Polish Przezdziak has managed to gain altitude, seizing a thermal with values higher than 7m/s able to lead them to almost 2800m of quote.
At the first turn point Arne Tanzer (the Dutch fort once again came to light) showed up; behind him, among others, Daniel Velez, John Smith (New Zealand), Galovec, Peternel and Klemencic for Slovenia and Gervasoni for Italy. Velez was able to immediately dig a discreet groove, taking the reins of the task in the direction of Rigolato, also flying over the "Kaiser" or the Monte Zoncolan, climbed yesterday by many indomitable cyclists participating in the Gran Fondo "Carnia Classic Fuji - Zoncolan".
In a real alpine flight, most of the pilots immediately understood how fundamental it was to continue to gain altitude: to confirm this, before flying over the Fella, several stopped to look for "breath" and at the top of the race the Austrian Ruhmer is brought along with Alonzi and Velez, with Ploner to lead the blue patrol.
In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, at Gemona, most have abandoned the shorter trajectory above the plain, thus flying over the Regional Natural Park of the Julian Prealps, following the ridge that develops for about 50km and that in favorable weather conditions such as those of today, allowed everyone to maintain a safety quota up to the cylinder placed near Slovenia. However, some of the men of the standings have tried to follow the low profile: among them the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic, the Czech Peter Polach and the Polish Przezdziak, making it very difficult to continue.
In the skies between Nimis and Attimis, while some pilots were forced to land out of goal considering the very selective task (including Przezdziak himself), Italy took command of the flight thanks to Ciech and Ploner. The meteorological situation was fully captured by the leading group, which turned the last buoy a little further away than the optimized line but with stronger thermal guarantees and greater altitude. On the way back to Bordano, when there were only 20km to go, Ploner managed to get Ruhmer and Ciech off the ground by scoring first with a spectacular tack that sent shivers down the ground. Only the Austrian, detached by about 4 'resisted, because from the third onwards the detachments became heavy beyond 10', demonstrating the superlative task carried out by the South Tyrolean. Another Italian, Filippo Oppici, completed the podium with an excellent performance and the German Primoz Gricar came fourth, with Ciech delayed by the lack of "fuel" on the most beautiful but author of a splendid fifth place.

Tolmezzo, 19th July 2019
In the longest task of this world championship to date, Italy is still a team to beat. Great is the Brazilian Pinto who redeems the landing out of the third day.
After the stop imposed yesterday due to adverse weather that has actually anticipated the rest day (required by regulation after six consecutive tasks), the XXII World Championship of hang-gliding organized among others by Flyve, Aec Lega Piloti and AeroClub Italia is resumed today with the fourth task, which in the usual morning briefing saw the change of take-off location on Mount Cuarnan near Gemona del Friuli. For the landing instead, once again the Bordano airfield was confirmed, one of the many countries (together with Gemona of course) that on the evening of 6 May 1976 it was razed to the ground by the terrible earthquake, but like all Friuli knew be reborn in a short time and leave again.
Today's task was very demanding, at the moment the longest of the World Championship with almost 143km to go all in one go, with Italy called to defend first place in the team general with 8503 points (according to Brazil with 7746 and third Germany with 7367), as well as the individual where in the order Ploner, Ciech, Selenati and Laurenzi find themselves in the top five positions with a single “intruder” the never-Austrian Austrian Ruhmer, ninth in the FAI ranking and holder of ten world titles.
After the splendid departure from Cuarnan (admired by many people with the "upturned nose" from Gemona del Friuli), the first buoy a few kilometers away was that of Artegna, where our Ciech passed first and left behind the Slovenian Franc Peternel, the compatriot Ploner (second in the flight of debut and in that of the day before yesterday) and two other insidious pilots, like the German Gricar (winner of the second task) and the Swiss Neuenschwander (second Tuesday). The hang gliders continued to the turn point in Slovenia, near Kobarid: for the first time in the history of the World Championships, the race was partially carried out in a different state than the host one, surely due to the organization which it was well spent in order to reach this historic goal.
Polach (Czech Republic), Smith (New Zealand), Majors (USA) and another group managed to find an important thermal just a few kilometers from the turn point across the border; Cantesanu, the only Romanian in the race, has lost altitude instead by landing off goal. Behind this group, the excellent Italian (and Friulian) Suan Selenati quickly arrived; the choice of the group was instead to follow the mountain slope, a fitting decision because in a short time they were re-attached to the fugitives at an altitude of about 2000m of height and over 70km/h of speed.
In the return to Trasaghis, where the third buoy was placed, the leading trio was composed of Gricar, Ciech and Ploner, with Pinto, Ruhmer and Neuenschwander (very fast in the stretch in question) to chase. Most of the group even in this phase, preferred to follow the profile of the mountain, which guaranteed their quotas and speeds always worthy of respect.
Ruhmer first touched the third turn point; unlike the stretch carried out up to that moment along the mountain (continuous line with very high average speed), the path towards the last buoy located at 9km from Cividale del Friuli, flying over a hilly area, required an important mental strategy, where fundamental it was the evaluation of the lines: the development of the heaps and also the flight of the birds, were important references - as underlined by the "meteoman" Damiano Zanocco - transforming the competitive challenge into a real chess game.
Ruhmer continued taking altitude following a line able to make him bypass the plain, flying east and also Ciech, Ploner and Gricar, along with the Brazilian Pinto, opted for this choice. Neuenschwander instead chose the trajectory from Cuarnan (today's take-off site) towards the south, about 3 km from the other pilots, climbing well but not quickly and soon being overtaken by the first group just mentioned that in the meantime had reached almost more than 2000m.
Ciech, Ruhmer and Ploner once again composed the leading group flying at 2200m at about 85km/h "at full throttle" towards Cividale; in the Nimis area they found a thermal with good values (more than 4m/s) and took advantage of the full altitude. In the equally fast return to Bordano, Alex Ploner - thanks to a wonderful tactical choice that guaranteed him a stable speed towards landing more than 70 km/h without ever having to stop to resume altitude - he managed to take a good margin of advantage over Ciech and Ruhmer scoring first with a time of 02.45.46 anticipating the Austrian and his teammate, thus putting another important seal on both the individual journey and the Azzurri towards the final goal.

Italy, led by Flavio Tebaldi, is still confirmed as a team to beat, with four drivers scoring in the top five. Only the stainless Austrian Ruhmer resists.
Third task, particularly short, not easy due to the variable weather conditions that have caused difficulties for all the national teams, which have adopted various strategies to try to get by. A very different situation from yesterday, typical "pre frontal" with destabilization in the low strata and a cold disturbance coming from the Veneto region - as explained by the "meteoman" of the organization Damiano Zanocco - has meant that the plain is "awakened", allowing pilots at least partially to be able to risk even the fastest but also risky line.
Selenati immediately took altitude, moving after a few km from the start to more than 1000m, together with team-mate Ciech, Klemenich (SLO), Ruhmer (AUT), Garcia (ESP) and Polach (CZ), trying to exploit the plain towards the first of the two turning points of the day, located in the specific case near Cividale del Friuli, the splendid town founded by Giulio Cesare who became Lombard capital of Friuli in his time. The route then included the return flying over the hilly area of ??the middle Friuli also touching Mount Bernadia near Nimis (another place well known by local flight enthusiasts), before "touching" the second buoy near Gemona and landing as always in Bordano.
Few pilots chose the longest trajectory near the ridge, which allowed them to gain altitude faster but having to complete more kilometers to reach the first buoy in Cividale; only the Slovenian Stanislav Galovec dared to start from the third window made available by the organization, but found itself flying by itself without any reference.
At the first turning point came in the order Ruhmer (AUT), Ciech (ITA) and Sandoli (BRA), who anticipated Laurenzi (ITA), Glauco Pinto (the very strong reigning Brazilian champion with many records also on distance) and the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic. Given the difficult weather conditions, some drivers had to "raise the white flag" landing well before reaching the goal: even Pinto himself had to surrender shortly after Cividale and this was the real coup of the day.
Misfortune also for the only woman in the race, the Japanese Sato, who suffered an accident "piercing" out of goal: immediate rescue operations taken from the operations center in Tolmezzo, where three people are constantly on the monitors and follow the pilots' tracks. In close collaboration with the Alpine Rescue Service, the athlete was reached and transported to the hospital for the necessary ritual checks; his condition does not cause concern and a good "good luck" prompt recovery has come from the whole movement.
Tanzer, class of '89, Dutch, then tried to escape while losing a bit of altitude; the "sail" was pursued by Ploner, Laurenzi, Ruhmer, Ciech and Selenati, who tried to fly as fast as possible to the second and final turning point, maintaining an average altitude of 1000 m which actually allowed them to reach Bordano in a short time. Not having to stop in search of thermals, on the landing field our Ploner champion, the Austrian Ruhmer, the excellent young promise of the flight (Flyve branded) Marco Laurenzi, Christian Ciech and the Suan Selenati from Friuli arrived which thus completed the masterpiece "made in Italy".
This is the ranking of the first drivers in goal. Once the scoring system has been developed that takes into account different variables, the final one will be published on this site: https://airtribune.com/22nd-fai-world-hg-championship/results. On the official FB page of the event and on the website www.italy2019.com, the same will be done and specifically the evening will be published the provisional ranking of the day and the following morning instead, the general official one.

Apparently nearby storm cells and some rain on the course caused some pilots to land to be safe. Seventy five pilots in goal.

https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/blog__day_5
Pilots are already on takeoff. Weather seems perfect today, so we expect to go in the air early in the afternoon for a consistent task.
Because pilots weren't assigned Flymaster trackers through Airtribune, live tracking on Airtribune doesn't work for this competition. Follow the pilots on the Flymaster web site.
The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636
You can see the Replay from yesterday here: https://airtribune.com/play/4032/2d at the two times faster speed (compared to the Flymaster web site). The Airtribune replay uses the IGC files found here: https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/results. The Airtribune Replay user interface is vastly superior to the Flymaster Playback user interface. It does have a problem with screen clutter on cell phones.

Turbulent landing zone at pre-Worlds
Four pilots in hospital
Facebook|Petr Polach
Petr Polách writes:
The task setup was good but the goal? We somehow missed safe and fun, but got fair. Between 120 pilots with a wide spread of experience we went for a very restricted and turbulent landing field. The outcome was four pilots in hospital, several gliders damaged, chaos and carnage. I feel really bad about that.

Ploner in the lead.
Quite a race with Ploner out in the lead for almost the entire race but near the end he kept going and getting down to less than 800' 9 kilometers out he had to take a slow climb while 5 kilometers ahead of everyone else and came in 5 minutes behind them.

USA fourth by six points.
Zac Majors:
Penalized for dangerous approach and landing on the Esplanada north field. Left E,S,S, probably with no margin to reach the goal field, seen that since his glide from P55, and also when crossing the lake towards E.S.S., he had encountered unstable air, so after reaching E.S.S. he could either find lift or sink on his way to goal, and at that point he would have to perform an improbable 14.8 L/D to clear obstacles at the entrance of the goal field. Pilot proceeded on this dire situation and arrived at the goal area with no height to clear the power lines. Dived under them on high risk maneuver and crash landed.

Looks like the Italians (other than Filippo) made a big mistake going on the second clock. Maybe they were low at the start of the first clock.

Just saw some awesome pictures courtesy Vincene Muller. Her son...Chris is flying his paraglider...towing a chap on a wave/kite surfing board.
Incredible...there they are... way out to sea (off the coast of Baja) Chris essentially maintaining courtesy of the drag provided by the surfer (who is planing along in good fashion!)
Don't really know what happens if the surfer falls into the water and releases his end of the line...I guess Chris would soon have a salty canopy?
Vincence is gone for a couple of weeks but I will try and get her to forward a couple of the pictures when she returns
