I am a hang gliding pilot from Brazil and yesterday I was at the
Brasilian Hang Gliding association meeting and I sow Betinho Schmitz working on
the Brazilian bid for the next World´s 2015. Betinho Schmtiz has formed a
working group to bring the next World to Brasilia (Brazil´s capital).

During our Nationals, lots of foreign pilots such as Jonny Durand, Curt Warren
and Jonas Lobitzfrom NZ talked to me about how much all the pilots wanted a
Worlds here in Brazil, landing on the middle of Brazil's capital, with a very
good competition conditions to fly, very constant and strong, ideal for a hang
gliding Worlds, besides a very good city structure.

In 2014 Brazil is going to host the next World Cup (Soccer) and in 2016 we are
going to host the next Olympics games. I think it is a very good opportunity to
have the World's back to Brazil and so do the Brasilians organizers, as I sow
yesterday at the meeting.

Wait, they decided not to make a bid for the Worlds as they were a
bit too late. They couldn't get their internal situation cleared up in time.
Thinking Category 1 Pan American Games.
