May 25, 2024 - Champion Announcement
As the FAI Sailplane Grand Prix of Norway comes to a thrilling close, we are proud to announce Conrad Hartter from Germany as the champion! Conrad's outstanding skill and consistency throughout the series earned him a total of 39 points across six races, including two daily victories. Piloting his JS1c-18m with remarkable prowess, Conrad has secured his spot in the World Final in St Auban next year. Congratulations, Conrad, on this incredible achievement!
Fans, stay tuned for exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and more as we celebrate Conrad and all the pilots who took to the skies in this incredible series.
Podium Celebration
Joining Conrad on the podium are Klaus Kalmbach and Arne Martin Güettler. Klaus Kalmbach from Germany secured second place with 31 points, his victory in Race 2 providing the crucial edge needed over third place. Klaus's remarkable skill and determination have earned him a spot in his second consecutive World Final, following his competition in Pavullo last year.
Arne Martin Güettler from Norway, also with 31 points, demonstrated incredible consistency throughout the series. Although he takes third place due to the tie-breaker, his steady performances have secured him a major position on the reserve list for the World Final. Arne Martin stands a strong chance of competing in St Auban should any qualified pilot be unable to participate.
Congratulations to Klaus and Arne Martin for their outstanding airmanship during this event.
