Deuxième journée des championnats du monde junior. Il y avait beaucoup d’attente pour la majorité des pilotes suisses pour cette manche, suite à la faible proportion de pilotes ayant atteint le goal hier. C’est donc après un bon briefing que nous abordons cette journée avec optimisme. Après une attente interminable au décollage de Ligak, la manche est malheureusement annulée à cause d’un gros orage. De retour à Tolmin, nous voyons que le ciel s’éclaircit et le coach nous emmène au décollage de koballa. Nous montons rapidement au plafond de 2800 m et nous avons pu faire un vol de 2 heures avec des thermiques plutôt forts et des vols dans les nuages. De retour au sol, le coach et les parents Descoeudres nous attendent pour faire un barbecue au bord du fleuve ! Demain, grosse journée ! ——- Zweiter Tag der Junioren-Weltmeisterschaft. Es gab große Erwartungen bei der Mehrheit der Schweizer Piloten für diesen Durchgang, nachdem gestern nur wenige das Ziel erreicht hatten. Nach einem guten Briefing gehen wir optimistisch in diesen Tag. Nach einer endlos langen Wartezeit am Startplatz von Ligak wird der Durchgang leider wegen eines schweren Gewitters abgesagt. Zurück in Tolmin sehen wir, dass sich der Himmel aufklart, und der Coach bringt uns zum Startplatz von Coballa. Wir steigen schnell auf eine Höhe von 2800 m auf und konnten einen zweistündigen Flug mit recht starken Thermiken und Flügen in den Wolken machen. Zurück am Boden warten der Coach und die Eltern Descoeudres auf uns, um am Flussufer zu grillen! Morgen wird ein großer Tag!

Text : Henri Descombes Après une hésitation de plusieurs minutes à Tolmin, l'organisation finit finalement par nous faire charger les navettes direction Lijak à 45min de là. Une fois au déco et encore une fois pas mal d'attente, une manche de 46km est planifiée, ce qui nous laisse tout juste le temps d'effectuer le briefing de la team suisse. Nous decollons donc juste après avec des conditions au start plutôt agréables et pas trop difficiles. Le temps de gagner 500m sur le décollage (et oui les hauteurs au sol ici sont bien moindre de ce dont nous avons l'habitude en Suisse), le start est rapidement entamé avec une petite balise en plaine. Puis s'en suit 4 pifpaf en cheminement près du relief avec un jeu d'ombre/soleil avec quelques cycles mais cela-dit peu gênants. Nous perdons rapidement Noé et Colin ayant tenté de pousser un poil trop bas et bien que généreuse, la "coline" ne les a pas épargnés... les autres se débrouillent plutôt bien malgré les conditions de fin de manche plus compliquées avec passablement d'ombre. Au final, seuls Romain, Joel et moi-même feront goal à cause de cela. ___ Nach minutenlangem Zögern in Tolmin wurden wir schließlich von der Organisation dazu gebracht, den Shuttle-Bus nach Lijak zu nehmen, das 45 Minuten entfernt liegt. Am Startplatz angekommen, wurde ein 46 km langer Task geplant, der uns gerade noch genug Zeit ließ, um das Briefing des Schweizer Teams durchzuführen. Wir starteten also direkt danach bei angenehmen und nicht allzu schwierigen Startbedingungen. Bis wir 500 m vom Startplatz entfernt waren (und ja, die Bodenhöhe ist hier viel geringer als in der Schweiz), begann der Start mit einer kleinen Boje in der Flachland. Dann folgten 4 Pifpaf in der Nähe des Reliefs mit einem Spiel von Schatten und Sonne mit einigen Zyklen, die aber nicht sehr störend waren. Wir verlieren schnell Noé und Colin, die versucht haben, ein bisschen zu tief zu gehen, und obwohl sie großzügig sind, hat der Hügel sie nicht verschont... Die anderen schlagen sich trotz der komplizierteren Bedingungen am Ende der Laufs mit ziemlich viel Schatten recht gut durch. Am Ende werden nur Romain, Joel und ich ein Goal haben. Score : Henri Descombes : 22, 794pts Romain Binggeli : 23, 732pts Joel Fuchs : 25, 707pts Noah Kiener : 39, 485pts Sarah Zimmermann : 43, 390pts Tobias Koch, 44, 379pts Noé Court : 53, 310pts Colin Mumenthaler : 54, 308pts Gabriel Descoeudres : 65, 235pts Classement Team Suisse (2 meilleurs scores entre Sarah, Joel, Noé et Henri) : Espagne : 1987pts France : 1979pts Angleterre : 1687pts Italie : 1665pts Slovaquie : 1647pts Allemagne : 1513pts SUISSE : 1501pts

Today is a big day for our juniors and for competitive paragliding. We have the opportunity to participate in the first-ever Junior World Paragliding Championships in history. This event is taking place in Tolmin, Slovenia. For some junior pilots, this is the third consecutive week of competition, following the Open in Disentis and Verbier. The early end of the event in Verbier, due to bad weather, gave them a day of rest. We met at 6 a.m. in Martigny and were able to settle into our Airbnb by mid-afternoon. Upon our arrival, a violent storm made unloading our luggage a bit wet. After registration and the official briefing, it was time for a small opening celebration. Tomorrow is scheduled to be a training day, but it is still uncertain whether we will be able to fly. The weather will remain extremely unstable, but a significant improvement is forecast for Tuesday, the first official day of competition. Our priority will be to trim the wings of the pilots who haven't done so yet.

Der 44-jährige Jérôme Kägi konnte sich bereits zu Beginn an der Spitze festsetzen und distanzierte den Weltmeister von 2005, Steve Cox aus Oberhofen am Thunersee, sowie den vierfachen Schweizermeister Stephan Morgenthaler aus Staffelbach. Nach dem letzten Durchgang entscheidet der Zürcher die Meisterschaft für sich. Stephan Morgenthaler platziert sich dicht hinter ihm auf Rang zwei, gefolgt von Steve Cox auf Rang drei. Jérôme Kägi freut sich riesig über seinen ersten Titel: «Dass ich mein Ziel Schweizermeister bereits dieses Jahr erreichen konnte ist unglaublich und meine Freude ist überwältigend.» Bei den Frauen setzt sich die Newcomerin Sarah Zimmermann aus Steffisburg souverän durch und holt sich zudem noch den ersten Rang in der Sportklasse, bei der sie sich gegen ein starkes Männerfeld durchsetzte. «Das gute Wetter und die starke Thermik entsprachen genau meinem Flugstil. Dass ich so weit vorne mitfliegen konnte, hätte ich nicht erwarten und umso glücklicher bin ich um den Doppelsieg,» sagt die frischgebackene Schweizermeisterin. Die 26-Jährige konnte nach dem letztjährigen zweiten Platz nun dieses Jahr mit neuem Material den Titel für sich entscheiden. Manuela Pfrunder aus Flums platziert sich auf dem zweiten Rang, gefolgt von Corina Heldstab aus Interlaken. An den sechs Tagen konnten vier anspruchsvolle Aufgaben bis zu 71 Kilometer geflogen werden. Insgesamt nahmen 111 Pilotinnen und Piloten an den Schweizer Meisterschaften in Verbier teil.

Very cloudy in the lowlands and along the prealps, with the first showers or thunderstorms possible in the morning. Still friendly and dry in the Jura and Valais. From the afternoon, increasing showers in all areas, first mainly over the mountains, later again in the lowlands. Weak south-westerly winds in the mountains. (MeteoSchweiz) Lots of clouds in our area in the morning, and precipitation possible in the mountains from midday, widespread precipitation in the afternoon (in the centre of the valley, Le Chable, it could stay dry for a relatively long time). Thermal quality: Hardly useable Weak winds ;-)

Too bad. It was more humid than forecast, the base was barely above 3000, and by 3 p.m. almost the entire area was shadowed by the congestus that formed on the high relief. And so the whole top gaggle found themselves on the Dent de Nendaz, slowly descending.... A run that probably didn't do anyone much good. PS: On the live tracking, we watched as some flew into the Rhone valley even with 35-40 km/h and wondered whether the task should be stopped. But it wouldn't have helped, because no more and no less pilots would have flown into the Rhone valley...

Program 10:30 Briefing at the lunch room La Ruinettes (get your tracker before you enter the lunch room) METEO (almost no change, but it seems to me that the prognosis has improved slightly :-)) The pressure distribution over Central Europe is relatively flat. A weak south-westerly current will bring dry air to Switzerland at the beginning of the day, gradually becoming more humid and unstable as the day progresses. (MétéoSuisse) There will be again a slight northerly overpressure on the ground (1-2hp), but a slight southerly overpressure at altitude (the Alps), which leads to southerly winds near the Alpine ridge and south wind above 2000 m. This southerly is much lower as yesterday, and should not affect our flight. Pressure: Approx. 1018, sinking. A slightly less unstable layer up to 1000 m will hardly slow down the development of thermals in our area. We can expect the development of moderate, partially good thermals from midday, later 2-4/8 with base at 3500, above high relief 3800 and even higher (don’t forget 3950 as max hight). There could be again some Cirrus clouds, and from mid-afternoon, spreading Cu with shadows possibly followed by rain showers in the vicinity (our flight area should remain dry). Thermal quality: No warm air advection and sinking pressure should give us nicer thermals as yesterday. But Cirrus and later shading from TCU in the south could worsen the thermal quality. Normal valley winds 1500 m 5-10 N (direction depends on relief) 2000 m 5 kmh N (Dent de Nendaz etc. SW / W) 2500 m 5-10 kmh S 3000 m Verbier 10-15 kmh S, further east less 3500 m Verbier 20 kmh S, further east less 4000 m 25 kmh S Summary: As it looks now, we have a reasonable good day, but it ends pretty early again (16 or 17h) with shading. PS: Saturday looks difficult

It has been a very complex weather and wind situation. We had these concerns before the task: "Maybe it's too stable, maybe too turbulent, maybe too simple... " Well, it was stable, especially at an altitude of around 1700/1800 metres, with cirrus clouds and then the feared shadows from Congestus on the main Alpine ridge. And so the field of participants was divided into ‘those at the top’ and ‘those at the bottom’, so to speak. Those who didn't get up right away at the start had a very difficult time. Many struggled at the lower level and didn't get above the mentioned 1700 metres... (50% of the participants). Above it went with usable thermals up to 3350, and there was not a very strong southerly wind. 15 pilots reached the goal, note the three women in 12-14th place :-) The ranking: 1 ThiébaudFabrice M SUI NiviukIcepeak X-One 01:27:02 444.5 2 DescombesHenri M SUI OzoneZeno2 01:27:43 438.5 3 CoxSteve M SUI OzoneEnzo3 ChilloutParagliding 01:30:17 436.6 4 MeloHippolyte M FRA OzoneEnzo3 Friends&parents,XC Tracer 15:32:11 435.4 5 DandeuDario M ESP NiviukIcepeak X-One 01:32:12 433.0 6 Breitinger Dominik M SUI GinBoomerang 12 GINGliders,zorro.ch 01:32:26 432.9 7 DarrozeTilo M FRA OzoneZeno2 Racer1927|Cébé|BW 01:32:46 432.5 8 KusterMaxime M FRA GinBoomerang 12 CREG_EquipedeLigue Grand-Est 01:32:38 431.4 9 FuchsJoel M SUI OzoneEnzo3 RemaxZermatt,BlueTomato 01:31:51 430.2 10 BollingerTim M SUI GinBoomerang 12 zorro.chGingliders 01:32:58 430.0 11 BritschgiBruno M SUI AdvanceIota DLS 01:38:46 412.2 12 Pfrunder Manuela F SUI OzonePhoton 01:41:04 410.5 13 VinuesaEva F ESP OzoneZeno 01:39:27 407.9 14 ChivetMathilde F FRA OzoneZeno2 AirDesign-CNF-SyrideRuedel'Air-Flyeo-Club 01:40:19 407.4 15 KordiReza M SUI OzoneEnzo3 01:45:29 403.2 In the competition Overall after 3 task are 2 French Juniors ahead! 1 Montuori François M FRA Ozone Enzo 3 Haglofs / Thermic 1589.9 2 Melo Hippolyte M FRA Ozone Enzo 3 Friends & parents, XC Tracer 1580.0 3 Kägi Jérôme M SUI Ozone Enzo 3 JAKWEB / zipp.chat / La Vida es Dura 1579.2 4 Morgenthaler Stephan M SUI Ozone Enzo 3 Nilmo.ch 1560.8 5 Cox Steve M SUI Ozone Enzo 3 Chillout Paragliding 1538.3

Program 10:30 Briefing at the lunch room La Ruinettes (get your tracker before you enter the lunch room) METEO Heute liegt die Schweiz in einer schwachen südlichen bis südwestlichen Höhenströmung. In den südwestlichen Landesteilen beeinflusst ein sich zum Mittelmeer abspaltendes Höhentief das Wetter: Die Luft ist labiler und die Gewitterneigung erhöht. (MétéoSuisse) There is a slight northerly overpressure on the ground (2hp), but a slight southerly overpressure at altitude (the Alps), which leads to southerly winds near the Alpine ridge and south wind above 2000 m. Pressure: Approx. 1018 A slightly less unstable layer up to 1000 m will hardly slow down the development of thermals in our area, but probably high clouds slow it down. We can expect the development of moderate thermals from midday, later 1-3/8 with base at 3300, above high relief 3800 and higher. From mid-afternoon, spreading Cu with shadows possibly followed by rain showers in the vicinity (our flight area should remain dry til late afternoon). Thermal quality: Unfortunately, there is a bit of warm air advection, which worsens the thermals. If additionally high clouds are shading a litte bit, it could be, that the flight is slow. Normal valley winds 1500 m 5-10 N 2000 m Verbier 5-10 S, in the Wallis-valleys from north, 5-10 kmh 2500 m Verbier 10-15 kmh S, towards higher relief 20-25 kmh 3000 m Verbier 20 kmh S, towards higher relief 30 kmh, further east less 3500 m Verbier 25 kmh S, towards higher relief 35 kmh, further east less 4000 m 30-40 kmh S The wind-direction turns from NW/W on the ground over north at about 1500m, to northeast at 2000m, to east, southeast to south at 2500m. The hight of this change of wind direction varies depending on the location. Summary: Up to 2000 m we'll have a northerly breeze, above that we'll have southerly winds, the higher the stronger, too strong in the Valais valleys. In addition, we'll probably see even bigger cu forming in the afternoon, but I'm expecting rather no showers. We'll have to rely heavily on the locals for the task setting.

Competition results after two tasks, see "Attachments".

Program The day is cancelled. METEO Very unstable air mass. A small trough is currently touching us, flowing northwards from Savoy (French Alps). It will be cloudy in the next hour and a few drops may fall. After a brief calming down, it will be cloudy again at 1 or 2 o'clock with precipitation. Where exactly it will rain, and how hard, is uncertain, but the weather is not for flying 100 pilots and I am to 97% sure, that a valid task is not possible.

It has been an exciting task again with lots of tactical decisions! The conditions were very good, very pleasant, above 2500 it was reliably climbing and there was almost no wind. The task could have been a little longer, but crossing the Val d'Hérence on the return flight is not an easy thing to do. Better to be safe and a little short, with lots of tactical variations. Unfortunately, some of the pilots went down before the take-off site (it was stable below 2000 at the beginning), and unfortunately three pilots flew the provisional task. But all in all it was a good day where the young French pilots once again showed what they are made of :-) 1 Montuori François M FRA OzoneEnzo3 Haglofs/Thermic 01:34:18 983.3 2 Morgenthaler Stephan M SUI OzoneEnzo3 Nilmo.ch 01:36:14 971.0 3 Aeschbacher Roger M SUI OzoneEnzo3 Jack&Jones Aspectcoaching.ch 01:36:17 968.0 4 Melo Hippolyte M FRA OzoneEnzo3 Friends&parents,XC Tracer,CAP360 01:36:20 963.1 5 Kägi Jérôme M SUI OzoneEnzo3 JAKWEB/zipp.chat/La VidaesDura 01:36:20 962.9 1 Zimmermann Sarah F SUI Ozone Photon SolarHaldimann 01:43:35 877.1 2 ChivetMathilde F FRA OzoneZeno 2 AirDesign-CNFSyride 01:48:01 846.6 3 HeldstabCorina F SUI NiviukArtik R 02:00:36 727.0

Program 11:00 Briefing at the lunch room La Ruinettes I hope we can start at 12 h. The way I see it now, we can fly until 16h, TCU with showers will be in the high relief south and only early evening at Verbier. METEO Switzerland continues to be caught in a weak south-westerly high-altitude current, which brings warm, humid subtropical air to us. The tendency for thunderstorms will remain high in the mountains and temporarily decrease in the lowlands. (MétéoSuisse) Flat pressure distribution, Pressure : 1013 A slightly less unstable layer up to 2000 m could delay the development of thermals a little. Afterwards development of moderate thermals, 1-3/8 with base at 3400, above high relief 4000 and higher (our lim it is 3950 - take care!). From mid-afternoon, spreading Cu with shadows followed by rain showers and possible thunderstorms. Normal valley winds 2000 m weak winds, in the valleys from north, 10 kmh 2500 m weak winds, in the valleys from north, 10 kmh 3000 m 10 kmh SW, but in our area even weaker 3500 m weak as well, but from Gr San Bernard the SW is pushing with about 15 kmh (affects exactly Verbier) 4000 m 15 kmh WSW, from Gr San Bernard the SW is pushing with about 20 kmh (affects exactly Verbier)

Wir hofften, dass - es vor dem Startplatz schon um 11:30 oder wenigstens 12 Uhr vernünftig steigt - die Abschattungen und Schauer erst nach 15 Uhr kommen. Die Task Deadline ist auf 16 Uhr gesetzt. Die Rechnung ging einigermassen auf, bis die letzten Pilot:innen im Ziel ankamen wars abgeschattet, und die Schauerzellen um 16 Uhr rund um Verbier. Der Task war kurz, aber ausgesprochen taktisch und sehr schwierig, um ihn schnell abzufliegen. So mussten einige Spitzenpiloten einen"Hänger" am Dent de Nendaz hinnehmen, andere wiederum verfehlten die optimale Linie. Die Schnellsten schafften es unter einer Stunde :-) 1 MeloHippolyte M FRA OzoneEnzo3 Friends&parents, XC Tracern 00:57:57 696.2 2 KägiJérôme M SUI OzoneEnzo3 JAKWEB/zipp.chat/La VidaesDura 00:58:50 695.6 3 Montuori François M FRA OzoneEnzo3 Haglofs/Thermic 00:59:00 686.7 4 VyparinaPeter M SVK OzoneEnzo3 Salewa,LAASR,Perfectfly klub 00:59:04 686.6 5 WickiMarkusS.

8-9 a.m Registration 10:30 Briefing at the lunch room La Ruinettes If possible, we should start 11:30. METEO The weather-determining area of high pressure will gradually weaken somewhat and slightly more humid and unstable air will reach Switzerland with a south to south-westerly high-altitude current. It will become increasingly hot and humid and the tendency to thunderstorms will increase as the day progresses. (MétéoSuisse) Flat pressure distribution, Pressure : 1018, sinking Development of moderate thermals, 1-3/8 with base at 3200, above high relief 3600. From mid-afternoon, spreading Cu with shadows followed by rain showers and possible thunderstorms. Normal valley winds 2000 m 5-15 N (depends on the relief) 2500 m 10 SW (Val d’Entremont 15 kmh S) 3000 m 10 kmh S 4000 m 10-15 kmh S (Martigny 20?)

Air pressure 1020 Very small pressure differences Generally beautiful weather, some cirrus in the morning, heat thunderstorms in the western Alps towards evening. The TCU and CB will probably lead to shading in the afternoon, followed by thunderstorm in the late afternoon. Build-up of moderate thermals and 1-3/8 Cu, base rising from 3200 to 3800, above the high relief 4300. With the inflow of the more humid air of the valley winds probably partly decreasing base again. Good thermals in the Valais Alps in the afternoon with a base around 4000 and higher. Generally weak winds in the area, with a tendency to the SW. Normal valley winds 2000 m variable, thermally induced winds, large air masses are also moved by the TCU. In the Valais valleys: North, 10-15 kmh (the valley winds reach this level) 3000 m 10 kmh S 4000 m 15 kmh W or S

Auf dem Bild sieht ist die Situation schnell erkennbar: Würde im Süden gestartet, ist die zu fliegende Strecke viel weniger lang. Nur: Das Gebiet ist nicht sehr gut bekannt.... Rund 15 Pilot:innen aber riskierten und gewannen. Auch wenn die "normale" Strecke beinahe gleich schnell war, gewonnen haben sie unter anderem auch weil der Flug weit hinten am Lukmanier sensationell schön war, mit Basis bis zu 3600 :-).
