European Gliding Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The European Gliding Championships is a gliding competition held every two years or so. Various classes of glider have been introduced over the years and so separate contests for each class are often held simultaneously, though not always.

Gliding had been a demonstration sport at the 1936 Olympic Games and was due to become an official Olympic sport in the Helsinki Games in 1940. However since the war, gliding has not featured in the Olympics.
