Beating women?
Friday, 04 December 2009
Actually we meant the women who are beating. Yes, it happens sometimes: especially Edina Koleszár of Hungary did recently beat quite a number of world records. Although all have been duly recognized as official in female category, it is worth noting that her last claim (mean speed over 100 km closed circuit) represents an absolute world record! Edina brought her Plasma 22 to cover that distance with 54.4 km/h mean speed, thus easily beating previous Michel Carnet's score of 51,9 km/h!
Bearing in mind that recent Polish Emilia Plak's time of 47.90 seconds for clover leaf slalom is barely four seconds worse than current Grzegorz Kryżanowski record (both done at World Champs in Czech Republic), male PPG pilots should really start looking over their shoulders.
In theory we should wait until Edina's claim will be officially recognized, but since this is her fifth record in a row there is nothing to be waiting for. Gentlemen, get your flying gear together!
