The fact the Kawa has won or nearly won so many World Championships (and major European and FAI contests) in such a short period of time, in so many classes and in so many different gliders models is simply astonishing. Especially impressive is his dominance of the "World Championship of World Championships" (in my opinion), the incredibly challenging FAI Sailplane Grand Prix World Championship events.

In that exceptionally difficult discipline of pure glider racing (and no compromise or excuses, Assigned Tasks only) Kawa has won every single event in which he has entered except for one. In that event, Kawa was a very close second to a pilot who was flying at his home location of Sisteron, France (a very technical flying site). That pilot was actually a lifelong instructor at Sisteron! Kawa had never flown at Sisteron before and still was only barely defeated on the last day in very weak, difficult conditions.

Kawa is simply at a different level. I do not think it's even comparable. Nobody else is even close to his overall accomplishments, his consistency or his raw talent. Kawa will soon be known, if he is not already, as the best glider racing pilot in history. Its not even close. It's obvious. He won Uvalde by 600 points! That's unheard of...

Any glider racing pilot (or cross country pilot for that matter) who does not carefully study Kawa's flight traces is simply not serious, IMO.
