Two of the biggest events in the free-flight competition calendar
for 2020 have been cancelled because of the coronavirus. The Paragliding World Cup Super Final later this month and the FAI Paramotor
World Championships in June have both been cancelled. The Super Final was due to take place in Castelo, Brazil from 24 March to 4
April. The venue had already been moved to Baixo Guando because of fears over
the coronavirus, but now the whole event has officially been cancelled. PWCA Goran Dimiskovski emailed pilots today and said: Following the WHO
pandemic declaration yesterday, the mayor of Baixo Guandu has informed us that
he is no longer allowed to hold the event. Several pilots due to head to Brazil for the Super Final had already said they
would not travel because of the coronavirus and had cancelled their
participation. Separately, the Paramotor World Championships have also been cancelled. These
were scheduled to take place in June in Linhares, Brazil. Organisers said they had decided to cancel the event well ahead of time to,
prevent financial losses to competitors and organisers.
