Die sechsten Slalom Weltmeisterschaften fanden vom 2. - 13. Februar in Lusail, Katar, statt.

Insgesamt maßen sich 55 Piloten aus 14 verschiedenen Ländern bei dem Wettbewerb. In der Klasse PF1 wurden drei gültige Durchgänge geflogen, und in der Klasse PL1 fünf. Auch mit der geringsten Anzahl an Durchgängen verlief die Meisterschaft sehr gut, und es gab keine größeren Zwischenfälle.Hier ist der Bericht:

From the start of the competition, it was clear that the fight for the podium was between the top 10 pilots in PF1 class with definitely the favorite being Alex Mateos – the Champion from past years. Alex was leading as he flew perfectly the three tasks and the second was the new talent and French pilot Cyril Planton, but they both made a mistake in the big finals while the Polish star Bartosz Nowicki, who showed excellent performance during all competition, finished first in the big finals and became the Slalom World Champion 2024.

In the trike class, Boris Tysebaert from the French team was a leader until the big finals when two Qatari pilots showed the best performance taking first and second place on the podium, and Boris finished third.

For the first time in the history of the sport, the female class was valid as four women from the USA, Finland, Belgium, and France took part in these Championships. Morgan Palanton was the winner, showing excellent skills during all competition, and Leah Catullo was in second place.

It's important to mention that during this competition, for the first time, the organizer made sure that pilots fly within the permitted take-off weight for each wing model and size, which definitely helped improve safety in slalom flying.

A big applause goes to Qatar Airsports Committee, Kamil Mankowski and his entire team for such great work organizing and running such a fantastic event.
