Judith Zweifel becomes a Swiss Champion in Acro Flying
27.08.07 | With an outstanding 2nd place among the national scores the ADVANCE team pilot wins a first official title as Swiss Acro Champion.
For the first time in the history of the sport Swiss Acro Champions were decided at the 10th Vertigo on the shore of the Swiss Riviera at a picturesque Villeneuve. Our ADVANCE team pilot Judith Zweifel finished 17 out of 42 international world cup competitors thereby attaining the title of Swiss womens’ Acro Champion, but also achieving a remarkable 2nd place in the Swiss final rankings!
The international World Cup in acro flying was held this year once again in Villeneuve. In front of an enormous crowd the pilots set off from the takeoff site to show their skills in the two categories – solo and synchro pairs. In the solo the scoring mainly reflects the difficulty of each figure, while in the synchro artistic impression and synchronization are significant judging criteria. In both disciplines the accuracy and safe recovery of the manoeuvres are the most important elements.
Many recreational pilots also found their way to this town in western Switzerland this year. The testival provided by a number of leading manufacturers was a very popular feature and many pilots took the opportunity to try out new products under ideal conditions. At the ADVANCE stand great interest was shown in our new entry level glider the ALPHA 4, and many made the most of the unique opportunity to have the legendary Andy Hediger show them how to set up the iMPRESS 2 harness. The weather gods were also kind to us at this sheltered spot, and this contributed to making the 2007 Vertigo another great success.
We from Team ADVANCE would heartily like to thank the organisers and the countless helpers! Due to their excellent work the event once more turned out to be a smoothly run and safe contest making it a great experience for all the pilots within the fantastic ambiance we have come to expect.
Our sincere congratulations to all the pilots, and here’s to 2008!
