The Paragliding World Cup (or PWC for short) is a cross country flying competition for paraglider pilots, organized by the PWCA. Each year, the Paragliding World Cup Tour visits 5-6 different locations worldwide. At each event several tasks are flown to establish the overall classification. The goal of each competition task is to fly round a predetermined course with a start, some turn points (usually 4-6) and a finish line. Slightly simplified, the winner is the fastest pilot round the course, or the pilot who flew furthest if no one completes the course. Pilots carry a GPS receiver to record their flight track, which is afterwards used to verify that they correctly followed the course and determine timings. Since 2010, there is one event at the end of every year called "PWC Superfinal". The best pilots selected from the events all over the year compete to select the overall winner of the year. Before 2010 the total winner was determined by adding the results of all worldcups of the year. ==Overall Winners== * 2014: Maxime Pinot (FRA) * 2013: Francisco Javier Reina Lagos (ESP) * 2012: Aaron Durogati (ITA) * 2011: Peter Neuenschwander (SUI) * 2010: Yann Martail (FRA) * 2009: Charles Cazaux (FRA) * 2008: Andy Aebi (SUI) * 2007: Christian Maurer (SUI) * 2006: Christian Maurer (SUI) * 2005: Christian Maurer (SUI) * 2004: Oliver Rössel (GER) * 2003: Achim Joos (GER) * 2002: Alex Hofer (SUI) * 2001: Patrick Bérod (FRA) * 2000: Andy Hediger (SUI) * 1999: Kari Eisenhut (SUI) * 1998: Peter Lüthi (SUI) * 1997: Jimmy Pacher (ITA) * 1996: Christian Tamegger (AUT) * 1995: Hans Bollinger (SUI) * 1994: Jimmy Pacher (ITA) * 1993: Richard Gallon (FRA) * 1992: Uli Wiesmeier (GER) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paragliding World Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
