Besides the "you beat Kawa" pat on the back...
The first day win at a WGC for the Twin Shark, in the hands of the Italians.
Congratulazioni!

Kawa at task 7 planned outlanded with Jones & Coppin, but they didn't succeed because they were not impatient enough and they left to early on the route. Maybe next time it can works ;-)

Look at start time. Optimal start time was 2 hours before and 10 min later it wouldn't be possible to complete the task.

Kawa flew an Arcus in Russia. He gave a talk at our club about that

exciting trip. I wonder how he comes to be in a 32 this time.

Mr. Matkowski, the other ASG-32 "MD" crew member is Schleicher dealer.

The choice is obvious.

And I think it supports my thesis that the pilot makes the difference.
The top manufacturers attract the top pilots, but the gliders are so
close in performance overall - I doubt equipment is the decisive factor
in most recent contests.
Dr Kawa will be hard to beat in anything remotely competitive...


Is Sebastian Kawa the first professional competition glider pilot?

Someone who spends his entire life competing and preparing to compete. No
other day job.

Rather like the Golf and Tennis stars.

What we see is that level of commitment brings an extra level of
performance.

Aren't the French teams professional? I was under the impression they are given a glider, a coach and a stipend to just train together as a team.

Well, he did it again. Two world championships in two different classes in less than two months.
