World air games Itália 2009

World air games Italy 2009. Congratulations from the Worldwide Ultramagic Team.

Congratulations from the worldwide Ultramagic team to Sven Goehler on coming first and winning the Gold Medal in the 2009 Hot Air Balloons World Air Games held in Mondovi Italy between 6 June and 14 June 2009.

Sven won flying his Warsteiner Ultramagic Racer. Congratulations also go out to Uwe Schneider who came second taking the Silver Medal. Uwe was, of course, also flying an Ultramagic Racer.

This was the third World Air Games to take place and was it also the third time that the Gold winning pilot was flying an Ultramagic Racer: 1997- Turkey -Gold- Uwe Schneider,
2001- Spain -Gold- Masahiko Fujita,
2009- Italy -Gold- Sven Goehler.

This year’s event was a very well flown competition. Quite often in a task the difference between the first position pilot drop at goal and last position was only a matter of meters from the target. See the results below. Pilots highlighted were flying Ultramagic balloons.
