Women’s PG Open

21.11.2009 von photoklaudia.

In 2006 I came on the idea to run all women competition one day. In 2008 during some conversations with my friend Karolina we realized we have the seam dream. She spoke during her stay in Switzerland with Anja about this and she got fascinated about this idea as well. We have been thinking about the place and time but always in terms off one day it will happen.
During Words in Mexico (2009) I organized meeting with whole girls competing in this championship. The reason for this meeting was proposal applied to CIVL/FAI commission, to separate women’s and man’s World Championship. Whole attending girls where against. But we decided it would be good for female paragliding to run all women’s open in 2010. The purpose was to introduce more female pilots to the international paragliding scene, to motivate some fantastic cross-country politesses, who never have competed in non internet competitions to come and have a try, to see how it will be to compete without guys flying with us. Since then our dream started to have more realistic shapes. Anja immediately offered her help in organization. Caroll offer to bee a contact person with Italians. After I got back home I got in touch with several girls and so we are the organization team: Anja Kroll, Des Pensy, Caroll Lichini, Karolina Kociecka, Nicky Moss and me.

We already have put a lot of afford to run great competition. Even there where several big problems we met on our way, we decided to not gave up and looked with hope for bather to come. For now we decided for a date which is not affecting any mayor events next year - Continental Championship, World Cup’s and pre Worlds. It is 21.08-28.08.2010. As I said due to several problems we haven’t set the place yet but we consider between Ager, Feltre and Fiesch right now. Whole of this places are fantastic flying sites with great people, who is very motivated to help us. Decision is very hard but we plan to come to it till end of November.

What we plan?
We plan to have best possible organization level. We wont you to feel good with us.
We search for place with a lot of good weather and task possibilities, so you have chance for interesting races.
We plan to held evening meetings with pre-chosen topics of your interests.
We plan to have fun and fly a lot!

Way you should come?
Because it’s first time in history you have chance to compet only amongst the womens.

For pilots who competes it’s unique opportunity to try them self with only girls flying around. No more following the guy’s, you are the one to decide when to go, where to go. It’s big challenge for you, because you need to switch to new tactic. Try your self and show you aren’t only good in following but you are really the best female pilot! Are you accepting the challenge?!

For XC-girls who fly in internet competition is a opportunity to try something new and have a look if you can fly the same good on pre-selected rotes.

For girls who fly but never competed before – come and have a try, maybe you will get attracted with competition atmosphere and will want to go for more.
