The day is fully cancelled and today is the final day of the event. This means that yesterday's results are now the overall results. The winners of this weeks competition are :-

Paragliding World Cup - Event 5 - Overall Open Winner

Luc Armant (France)

Paragliding World Cup - Event 5 - Womens Winner

Renata Kuhnova (Czech Republic)

We had a tie for the team result - both Ozone and Parapente Mag have the same score. This tie is broken by looking at the highest scoring team member - which in this case is Luc Armant with 1000 points.

So, the winning team for Event 5 of the 2010 Paragliding World Cup is Luc Armant, Charles Cazaux, Joachim Oberhauser and Seiko Fukuoka Naville - Ozone.

Prizegiving is in the Piazza here in San Potito at 19:00 - photos from this will be here later on.

The wind is too strong on take-off to safely consider a task so it has been cancelled. We are now awaiting information on whether there will be another attempt at a task later today.

A task has been set - at the moment it is still provisional and we are waiting for times to be decided. The map is below. The task is a 72.8km race to Goal and there are 107 pilots taking part.

Live Tracking will be running on this task - the link to activate the Google Earth view is http://www.livetrack24.com/leo_live_task_ge.php?taskID=99

The final day is here ! The weather is looking good today and the pilots are all on their way to the take-off. It seems that the World Cup this year is all about the last two days of the week....

Philippe's video workshop has been non-stop this week - the latest video is here (but there are quite a few more to come - he just can't upload them fast enough...)

And now we wait for the task details....

A provisional task has been set. No times have been released yet.

The task is a 78.7km Race to Goal along the north of the ridge. The map is below and the times will be published as soon as we have them.

We have brought the Live Tracking system here from Greece but, due to some very technical problems with the sim cards here, we unfortunately only have 46 units which will work here in San Potito. It is a shame we can't track everyone but we still think 46 tracks will give you a good idea of what is happening during the task 

Live tracking will be enabled as soon as the times are announced and a link to the Google Earth tracks will be included in the text....

Now we are just waiting for times

The sun is out this morning and the wind has dropped - it is looking like a nice day for a task (at last...).

The meeting this morning decided the task area - we are staying here in San Potito. The organisation is on the way to take off (its a long way here) and we are waiting for news of the task.

Task details will be here as soon as we have them - meanwhile Philippe has been investigating Live Tracking and its possibilities...

The weather forcast indicates a lot of storm activity in the early afternoon and the decision to cancel has been made.

The latest videos from Philippe and Dmitry K are here - more news will be posted as and when we get it...

We have just received news from take-off. The whole area is still in cloud and the probability of thunderstorms is quite high. The day has, therefore, been cancelled for safety reasons.

There is a free dinner this evening for all competitors in Piedimonte. Shuttles will be leaving the crossroads (by camping) at 19:30 - for those who want to drive there the dinner starts at 20:30.

More tomorrow...
