He finished 11th overall and summed up his week on his personal Instagram: \u201c11th individually and \ud83e\udd49 in the team ranking, after 9 tasks and, above all, 2 task wins [&#8230;] Very happy with the individual result, but especially with that third place for the team. Flying together, pushing to the end and sharing all this with the team makes the result even more special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The edition was marked by the absence of the French team, which decided not to attend over a disagreement with the organisers about the conditions of the event. This left out the reigning champions, Maxime Pinot and Constance Mettetal, as well as world champion Baptiste Lambert. Meet director Goran Dimiskovski regretted the situation: \u201cI am very sorry that those pilots were deprived of being part of this event. It is strictly political and I really hope it does not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berger, who thus claims her first European women\u2019s title, wrote on social media after the prize-giving: \u201cI still can\u2019t believe I\u2019m European champion. Very grateful for the best support team, who made this possible.\u201d Deutschmann, second, described her result as \u201cbittersweet\u201d: \u201cCompeting is not only about the final result. I am proud of how I flew, how hard I fought and how much I have grown during this European Championship. That is what I take home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kru\u0161evo, a regular venue for international competition thanks to its combination of mountain flying and open plains, remains a fixture on the FAI calendar: the 2nd Paragliding Junior World Championship began on 22 August at the same venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>+Info:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/fai.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fai.org<\/a> | <strong>Full results on<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/civlcomps.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">civlcomps.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The event, held from 8 to 19 August, brought together 130 pilots from 30 countries over nine tasks of between 68 and 104 km, flown without accidents and in good [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[526,524],"tags":[2297,1618,2003,2529],"class_list":["post-20609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-competition-xc","category-paragliding","tag-european-championship","tag-niviuk-en","tag-ozone-en","tag-tilen-ceglar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20609"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20610,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20609\/revisions\/20610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
