Austrian Alexander Robé flew a 257.2km triangle from Grente, Austria on 12 August – a world record paraglider triangle if the record is ratified.
Alex flew an Ozone Mantra M6 and will take the record from Piere Bouilloux, whose 237.1km flight back in August 2003 has been the record until now.
There is a Doarama playback, plus photos and a write-up (in German) of Alexander’s flight on his website.
