Evaluation:

The year 2023 can be assessed as a quality year. In individual results some new pilots in the national team achieved significant improvement. Unfortunately, this performance development could not be transferred to the results at the World Championships, where the newly formed team lacked experience. The handicap in the world ranking is again the difficult and financially demanding participation in competitions held on other continents. During the season the pilots trained and gained experience in new areas - we expect them to capitalise on this in the 2024 season.

Association of powered paragliding

Evaluation of the activities and results of the Motor Paragliding Association representation in 2023

In 2023, the pilots of the national team took part in the World Championship in powered paragliding - slaloms in Spain - Bornos, where they took 3rd place in teams out of 11 participating countries. In the PF 1 category our Lubos Halama was tenth. In PL 1 category was our Milan Klement fifth. In the classical competition, there was no top competition in 2023. Our representatives took part in the Czech Championship in Přibyslav and several league competitions. In slaloms they took part in the Open Championship in Palava and the Polish Championship in Jutrosin, where they also prepared in a special training we ordered for them before their participation in the World Championships in Spain. In August at the Polish Championships our team took 1st place in the relay category ahead of teams from Lithuania and Qatar. In this category, our representatives took 3rd place in the 6th place. World Championships in powered paragliding - slaloms in Qatar. Our team also won all other three bronze medals in teams at this World Championships. So they are among the world's top.
