There have been some e.g. Sue Kussbach, Ingo Renner, George Lee and Michael Sommer, that I can think off, that have won 3 world titles in a row in the same class. Not an easily achieved feat and one that Kawa has yet to do. I take nothing away from Sebastian, in fact if there was betting involved my money would be on him (saw him fly the SGP final at Omarama in 2007). He's my pick as winner in whatever contest he flies and he does seem to fly a lot. I actually wonder what his winning percentage is over all the National level and higher comps he's been in. As a side note and probably worthy of a thread it's own is 'how good is the variety of gliders span wise that are competitive in the open these days?' :-) Colin Last edited by Ventus_a : August 9th 14 at 06:04 AM.

You can add another WC to Kawa's resume today...by over 300 pts. BTW, the new 18M champ is a Pole too.

He was close to the top in the poor weather (early in the event) and pulled away once it got better. I don't think many fully appreciate how difficult it is to win this many world level competitions (in various classes, gliders and formats). Congratulations Sebastian! |
