Bad news from World Gliding Championship

World Gliding Championship 2010 (Prievidza, Slovakia) - A competitor in the Standard Class competition was killed yesterday, apparently after failing to recover from a spin at low height.

Today's flying cancelled for all classes.

Two gliders collided in midair on the first day, but were both able to land safely. One competitor was penalised as a result of the collision.

Stay safe up there
