The last day dawned, and Task 72 km has been announced. A short essay in which were the turning points near Valle de Bravo. But this time there was time to turn blue thermals and very tight. Already in Startpulk It was flying so athletic. Already on the approach to the first buoy threw a pilot for a cravat the Saviour. Back at the Ridge Peñon along to the next buoy, the second rescuer was thrown near the launch site. This did not bode well for the day. Was hardly came up and flew right into the deep plains east of Valle de Bravo. But even there we found only sparse thermals and many pilots were at 30 km on the ground. Those who flew on it were also not easy and two other rescuers were thrown. A Japanese man injured in heavy and had to be rescued by helicopter. Since the helicopter cut the trajectory of the competition pilots, was the first task is stopped and in another Episode canceled.
Thus was the winner: Andi Aebi (Switzerland) with its Advance Proto is the new world champion, followed by his countryman Stefan Wyss (Niviuk Icepeak 3) and Aljaz Valic (Slovenia, GIN Boomerang 6). Won the women's Elisa Houdry (France) think before Keiko Hiraki (Japan) and Anja Kroll (Switzerland). The team ranking to decide since the start of the competition, the Czechs for themselves.
We were also able to look back on two successful weeks:

I should be happy because fly with the ladies in the first third was a big challenge and I are allowed to see my name several times between known name. Above all, however, gratifying that is no longer unknown, based on my performance at this World Cup is my name and thus a woman pilot represents Austria in the paragliding scene.
