21st FAI World Hang Gliding Class 1 Championship
Final glide to goal
FAI|Worlds 2017 Class 1
A pilot watching in the US writes:
I watched in disbelief as Zac burned it into goal at over 50 mph. I kept yelling slow the fuck down! Peter Benes left the last thermal with Zac both at the same altitude. Peter followed him on the same line and let him go when Zac picked up his speed. Peter finished 1:06 behind Zac and safely made goal becoming the new world champion. I feel for Zac, he had a very tough meet

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.

Gerolf writes:
Just watched the last task of the Worlds via Flymaster live tracking, and could not believe what an unbelievable tactical plunder the great Italian team produced today. Holding the main gaggle back to fly the task on a later clock.
That opened up the opportunity for the Czech pilots, Benes and Vinhalik, to actually be successful if they could manage to eventually break away from the Italian pilots, Ploner and Ciech. And break away they did!
Now imagine, how much harder it would have been for Petr Benes to do this if Alex and Christian had taken the first clock and then there would be no one marking the thermals ahead over the last 50km? Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!
So, we can say the young Czech well and truly deserves the title: He cleverly launched one single, decisive attack and he managed to pull it off in style. Bravo!

This year's FAI World Hang Gliding Championships is nearing the end. It has been difficult for me, because I had higher expectations for myself. Thankfully, our US Team has been pulling their weight lead by Robin Hamilton who is in 8th, position over all (I'm currently 20th). After yesterday's strong finish, Team USA moved into 3rd place. We have 2 more days to go to hold off the Germans, Brazilians, & Australians.

want to risk making it to the Esplanade. Here is a shot of Jonny below him:

Day 5, a slow day, results
Alessandro "Alex" Ploner|Christian Ciech|Filippo Oppici|Jon "Jonny" Durand jnr|Marco Laurenzi|Thomas Weissenberger|Worlds 2017 Class 1|Zac Majors
The inversion took a long time to break so pilots didn't go until the third clock. The days end between 5 PM and 5:30 PM when the sun is very low on the horizon. Zac complains that pilot leave the early thermals too early when the lift decreases apparently forgetting about how they will soon be faced with much weaker thermals as they get near goal.
It took a little under 3:30 hours to do the task today for 132 km. Yesterday a task of about the same length took 2:20 hours. A very weak day.
I notice that there was a small penalty for not making goal (you get only 80% of your speed points, which in this case were very few). As long as you make the end of speed section. The penalty is the slight difference in your distance flown plus the 20% reduction in speed points.
There were very few leading point today, few speed points, and very few arrival position points. Distance was heavily counted. Thirty two pilots got to the end of the speed section.
One more day, then a rest day.

Jonny didn't make goal. Neither did Primoz. Neither did Daniel. Jonny and Daniel made the end of the speed section. Primoz and Jonny just barely made it to the end of the speed section. Daniel came back when it looked like he might not make it to the Esplanade.
Gerd got the end of speed section, but landed with Daniel and Jonny, and not at the palace.
Mario and Filippo came after 17:32:00. Jonny, Daniel, and Gerd attracted many others, including Robin Hamilton.
John Simon made it in. Josh Wood backed off at the last second. He and Glen McFarlane joined Jonny.

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.

The would add other contenders at the very least, former World Champions, Alex Ploner and Attila Bertok, as well as Zac Majors, who just beat Christian in similar conditions at Dinosaur. Other USA team members, for sure. Perhaps Corinna, who just won the German Open.
