The 14th FAI World Paragliding Championship has started on January 10th in Roldanillo, Colombia, with 148 pilots and 38 nations.

Sunday, the opening ceremony turned into a town festival with a Carneval floats parade and thousands of spectators.

Monday was a practice task day, neccesary for organization and pilots to iron out small issues that can ruin a good task day.

Tuesday and Task 1 saw 138 pilots at goal, 86km away.

Task 2 was set at 106km and 85 pilots made goal.

The championship is on a roll and can be followed in many ways, like…
