The Argentine Paragliding Championship, known as the CAP, had two official rounds over the year. Each round has its own overall winner and, at the end, the results of both are averaged to decide the new Argentine Champion, as well as the winners and podiums of the categories that follow the main class: Serial, Sport, Standard, Women and Senior (a category for \u201cfeathered friends\u201d over 50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first round was held in the province of La Rioja from 1 to 8 April, organised by the ARVL club (Asociaci\u00f3n Riojana de Vuelo Libre), with seven tasks flown out of seven possible days. The skies of La Rioja \u2014 where the World Cup was held on Argentine soil in 2021 \u2014 brought together more than 60 pilots from across the country, with Ignacio Ortiz (Gin Boomerang 12) taking the overall win, followed by \u00c1lvaro Lucero (Ozone Enzo 3) in 2nd and Michel Guillemot (Ozone Enzo 3) in 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second and final round, where everything was decided, took place in Tucum\u00e1n from 16 to 23 September at the classic Loma Bola launch. Organised by the Club Aconquija Vuelo y Aventura, it brought together more than 80 pilots from across the country, plus Mexican pilot Yezmin Cannan, in what was, to date, the Argentine event with the largest presence of Submarine harnesses and the new two-liner C wings, including the Photon, Artik R, Vega 6, Bonanza 3 and LT2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
