Spanish pilot \u00c1lvaro Romero Camacho has been crowned champion of the 2nd Paragliding Junior World Championship, held from 22 to 30 August in Krushevo (North Macedonia) over seven tasks of between 51 and 100 km. Romero, from the Club Deportivo Sevilla Parapente, beat Noe Court (Switzerland) and Matthis Nedele (Germany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, organised under the umbrella of the FAI and its free flight commission (CIVL), brings together the world\u2019s best pilots aged 16 to 26 every two years. This second edition was held at the same venue that had hosted the senior European Championship just days earlier, allowing several teams to link both events without travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In terms of equipment, Romero Camacho and runner-up Noe Court both flew the Niviuk Icepeak X-One<\/strong> with the Niviuk Rocket R<\/strong> harness, while third-placed Matthis Nedele competed on the Ozone Enzo 3 with the Ozone Submarine harness. In the women\u2019s category, champion Ivone Silva flew the Ozone Zeno 2 with the Niviuk Drifter 2 harness, according to the official results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The pilot from Seville arrived at the junior event on a winning streak: at the preceding European Championship he had taken individual bronze, while the Spanish team \u2014 completed by Fran Reina Lagos, Marcos Sancho Fern\u00e1ndez, V\u00edctor Aguilera and Mika D\u00edaz Ruiz, with Iv\u00e1n Col\u00e1s as team leader \u2014 also won bronze in the nations ranking. A few days earlier he had shared on social media his excitement at representing Spain \u201cfor the third time\u201d at an FAI Category 1 event, saying he arrived in Krushevo \u201cwith the same excitement as on the first day\u201d despite last-minute nerves before competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The title also confirms a trend: the first edition of this championship, held in 2024 in Tolmin (Slovenia), also went to Spain, with victory for Marcelo S\u00e1nchez Vilchez ahead of Justin Puthod (France) and Dusan Surina (Slovakia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
