Kuchler wins paragliding extreme competition in Werfenweng. On Saturday, 07/26/2008 at 8 clock, fell in Werfenweng the start of airline boarding. 32 athletes from three countries (Austria, Germany, Slovenia) have the task of flying in 33 hours with a paraglider and / or walk as far as possible from the start weg, und wieder zurück zu kommen. Dichter Bodennebel über ganz Pongau schaffte gleich zu Beginn Raum für neue Taktiken. Die Athleten teilten sich in 5 Gruppen auf. Einige wählen den Aufstieg zur Werfnerhütte, um sich mit einem Flug Richtung Norden nach Salzburg Stadt zu kämpfen. Andere erwarteten keine Auflockerung der Nebeldecke und marschierten vom Start Richtung Mitterfeldalm am Hochkönig, nach St.Veit oder Schladming. Der Großteil der Starter rechnete aber mit Flugwetter. Sie nahmen die 1000 Hm auf den Bischling in Angriff. Leichte Thermik und 10km/h Ostwind trugen die Ersten bis Bischofshofen bzw. St. Johann/Pg.
Ab 15 Uhr setzten die angesagten Überentwicklungen of flying to an end.
Most Bordairline - Athletes chosen for progress on foot.
The second day began with heavy fog and some rain showers. Despite cramps, blisters and pain, the brave fighters headed towards goal in Werfenweng. All participants trusted the aviation weather report that predicted for Saturday and Sunday, the same weather and put on any major Streckenflüge.Aber know, it is so often different than you think! According to report, there should be 15 knots easterly wind and a lot of clouds with some rain showers. Based on this knowledge, the day before, the possible return from the individual athlete calculated. On the second day, however, were neither wind nor clouds in the way a good flying day. So it happened that some athletes, high above the heads of the migratory pilots sailed to the finish, which had the bottom "marching Wings" endure even more pain.
finisher at the mandatory interview on Red Bull target arch the spectators got a glimpse of the last 33 hours of the participants. From barbecues and sleep on the Salzach fly over 33 hours without a break and walk up to the brunch before returning to the pasture, each participant was able to board airline sent individually.
With a record-breaking run distance of 115 km and 2000 Hm in 33 hours recorded Christian Amon (Hallstatt) just ahead of Stefan Sindelka (Golling) that assessment for themselves. Many starters swore themselves to such torture will no longer indulge. Next year it will pop back to see many familiar faces who have broken that vow, and his on-board airline in 2009 it will be!
