제목: Daily update from the FAI World Air Games 2015

Swooping! 4 December 2015 Open The Doors And Let The World Come In The FAI World Air Games got off to a spectacular start yesterday evening with a sound-and-light extravaganza in front of a crowd of 4,000 people… >Watch the clip >Read about it Photo: Marcus King / FAI Media Team   U.S. Teammates Battle It Out One of the most spectacular events in the FAI World Air Games finished today. Canopy Piloting, or Swooping, is a fast-paced, beautiful discipline that combines nerves of steel with the finesse and grace of a gymnast.  The day saw a 1,2 win for the USA when Curt Bartholemew battled it out with teammate Nick Batsch for the lead in Canopy Piloting (Classical). Bartholomew seized the day and seized the win, while Nick Batsch took silver and the UAE’s Cornelia Mihai took bronze. “It was one of the tightest in a while, it came down to the last jump,” said Bartholomew. “Conditions are beautiful. It made for good, tight competition.” He added: “It means everything. This is my fifth world title. I was pushing to get this one before I turned 30 because this is the last recognised FAI world title I haven’t won yet.” Congratulations to Curt, and all the competitors for a good competition.  The discipline is called Combined because it consists of three events: accuracy, distance and speed. >Watch the clip   Castles in the Sky We were up at dawn following the action at the hot-air airships racing.
