Issue of the World Hang-gliding XC Class 5, 2 and Women
The 2020 events have been cancelled. So far, these events have been organised as stand-alone or combined in different ways, even once including Sport. Currently, there is a discussion within the CIVL Hang Gliding Committee on what could be the best solutions acceptable by organisers.
It is not impossible that a World Class 5 and/or Women will be organised along with the 2021 Class 1 event in Krushevo.
