Summer is getting to its climax and that must be the right time (and weather) to report about the results of different Sky Paragliders competitions teams. Renáta Kuhnová flying ERIS 3 finished 1st (female category, 38 in the overall results) at 1st round of PWC (Poggio Bustone, Italy). Congratulations, thanks a lot, Renáta. That is marvellous performance, indeed.The Czech National Team and also SKY DISPLAY AND DEMO TEAM team took part in the International Championship of Germany at paramotoring flying – Petr Matoušek – finished first in the PL1 category (trikes). Petr is flying ANTEA. And also Michal Křivánek, flying the same glider, was a great success, as he finished second at the same competition in the same category. Gentlemen, thanks a lot, great performance.
At the Pre PWC (Drama, Greece) Renáta Kuhnová finished first again in her category. In the overall results she finished 36th. But that was mainly the great performance of Ondřej Krupa that came as a pleasant surprise. Ondřej, flying ANTEA, finished third in the performance category (28th in the overall results). Great, just great, congratulations.
And we have experienced also one more great performance by Marketa Tomášková at the Accuracy Championship (2nd Round of PGAWC in Trakoscan, Croatia). She finished 3rd in the category. Thanks a lot, Markéta. Congratulations.
