Great racing conditions, good organisation, fantastic Greek food, folk music and dances and breathtaking scenery made for an ideal week in West Greece at the end of August for the pre- world cup.

France's Yann Martail is the 2010 Paragliding World Cup Superfinal champion. He won the two-week competition flying an Ozone R10.2 – the paraglider that has dominated the competition circuit all season.
