How and why did you start gliding?
Flying had been a dream for years and therefore I started gliding at 15 in Bordeaux, it was for me the cheapest and easiest way to start flying, and from what I've learnt since then, the best way!What do you enjoy most about flying in competitions?
Learning from one's mistakes (and those of the others) and the thrill of flying with and against some very good pilots. Meeting new people from all over the world and discovering new places to fly are also great fun.
What is your most satisfying result?
Qualifying for this SGP final of course! As well as a few results in national competitions and flying in a junior world championship.
What are the most important factors for success in gliding competitions? Preparation, motivation and having the right mindset.
