And I think your stats don't even include the broken foot in the Swiss team. Luckily, the guys on the podium are truly worth Champions. But I know at least one title contender who didn't go because of the safety issues. And that should not be happening.Jochen Zeischkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526438480368022521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751466314154956014.post-3096071426009576892015-03-17T22:45:26.618+01:002015-03-17T22:45:26.618+01:00I'm selling the GT, by the way...I'm selling the GT, by the way...Jochen Zeischkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526438480368022521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751466314154956014.post-51428039233326977372015-03-17T15:44:55.368+01:002015-03-17T15:44:55.368+01:00Wolds : a statistic...

Because it is the second time that I destroyed the same knee. And I should give it some more extra time to recover.<br />But since yesterday I am back in my running shoes. So cu soon Airborne again!<br />And have a nice, successful race in Slovenia!Matzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536460784172837180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751466314154956014.post-45444535438809773912015-01-06T00:33:54.421+01:002015-01-06T00:33:54.421+01:00Thanks for keeping us up-to-date Jochen.

It's a sport, so it is about physical endurance as well. And being physically fit is going to improve your performance and safety. So, you should indeed chose pilots based on that. (Gordon is talking about national team selection).<br />Strong conditions (fast thermals) also aren't necessarily dangerous and we love flying in strong, high thermals. But I absolutely agree with you that we need to avoid high-risk flying conditions. And for me, the high-altitude landing areas which only had small fields involved just a bit too much risk.<br />I also agree with you that we don't need strong conditions. Flying is weaker conditions is absolutely a skill too. But usually, if you go to place known for strong conditions, you get a few weaker days in the comp too and it's doesn't work the other way around. So, for the most all-round championship it is best to pick a reliable, strong venue. But please, chose a safe one...Jochen Zeischkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526438480368022521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751466314154956014.post-2186651790240749732014-05-14T11:59:56.744+02:002014-05-14T11:59:56.744+02:00Thanks Jochen,
I fully agree with you. Hangglidi...Thanks Jochen, <br /><br />I fully agree with you. Hanggliding should make fun and not injure or kill people. When Gordon Rigg writes "But it is still necessary to consider who can handle flying strong conditions day after day when deciding who will go to the worlds…" it sounds like mockery and then not many are left and even these are not safe from being that they make an error. Does it have to be so high-risk? I do not think so - maybe I´m a coward, especially because I have a family for whom I care.<br /><br />Jürgen KarpfJürgen Karpfhttp://juergenkarpf.blogspot.de/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751466314154956014.post-50023397157123654592014-05-14T10:11:25.713+02:002014-05-14T10:11:25.713+02:00I heard quite some people won't be present at ...I heard quite some people won't be present at Worlds because of things happening on pre worlds.
