"World Cup Serbia 2021 ::: Kopaonik"
Press release
Kopaonik, Serbia: 10th to 17th of July 2021.
The World Cup in Kopaonik, Serbia from the 10th to 17th of July, will bring to a close the qualifying rounds of the 2019-2021 season. For many it will be a last chance to qualify for the Super Final.
Kopaonik, is the largest mountain range in Serbia, and extends for 80km from the northwest to the southeast of this beautiful country. To reflect and protect its rich biodiversity, the Kopaonik mountain range was given national park status in 1981. The flying area combines dense coniferous forests with pastures and meadows, with the highest tops being around 2000m. With a very successful World Cup in Kopaonik in 2013, our return is long overdue and eagerly awaited by those who have fond memories of a mixture of conditions to suite all tastes.
The recent World Cup in Gemona had 38 AA pilots competing in it, the highest pilot quality that we have ever seen.
Kopaonik 2021 will have the greatest number ever of pilots born this century competing. Could 21-year-old Simon METTETAL, the highest placed pilot from Gemona fly away with the title? As for larger-than-life personalities taking to the skies, there will be at least 38 of them!
Julien WIRTZ was 4th in 2013. He’ll be keen, and more than capable of thermalling up three places.
