https://www.fai.org/news/test-event-cancelled-2021-fai-world-paragliding-xc-championships?type=node&id=24473
Although all parties within the organising committee (COPROJ)
tried to stay optimistic, the Covid-19 pandemic is ruling out the competition
that should have been the test event for the 2021 World PG XC Championships, in
Chamoussey, France, from May 23 to 29, 2020.
Confinement in France is prolonged at least until April 15
Pilots of all nations may lack the possibility to travel
Pilots will lack the training to make sure the expected 120-glider event will be safe
As per Frances requirements, we cannot rule that the event is necessary
The event is cancelled, not postponed.
The CIVL has agreed that the World Championship will take part next year
although without a test event being run.
COPROJ thanks the volunteers who were ready to get involved, and the private and
public sectors that supported us.
We will now refund the entry fees, negotiate new contracts, pay our debts.
Our thoughts go to each of you and to your families. Stay safe.
