PWC Korea
The PWC Korea (Mungyeong) took place over the week from 25 April to 2 May. There were four successful tasks, which took place in a very convivial atmosphere, with wonderful touches such as tea being served on take off, and evening entertainments, Korean style!
Gin Gliders, and France as a nation, would have been very happy to each celebrate two podium places. Gin’s test pilot of almost 20 years, Seyong Jung (KO), came first with Denis Cortella (FR) in second. In third place was David Ohlidal (CZ, Axispara), and Orlane Sturbois (FR, UP) was top woman. Seyong Jung was also the overall Asian champ, with Noriko Mizunuma(JP) wearing the women’s Asian crown.
The PWCA nations ranking looks like this: Korea, France, Japan, and the Asia and Oceana PWC Nations Ranking 09: Korea, Japan, China.
