There were not enough competitors in women's class to get a new
official European Champion . We need at least 8 women from 4 different
countries. Since Greifenburg 2008, we have not managed to do that. So there is
no new title unfortunately, but I guess I keep the old title, as there is not a
new one? Sad really.

But Carol is pregnant, Natalia and Julia have the new small Aeros gliders
without certification, so they could not compete, just like Francoise. I suppose
quite a few women didn't want to come because this is a Muslim country with a
different interpretation of "women's rights". But there are at least enough
entries for a new worlds title in Forbes.
