In most sports it is recognised that to have continued success at the highest level that you need a strong junior base which also reflects the long term health of that sport.
Great Britian junior pliots placed 1st, 2nd & 5th in Standard class and 4th and 6th in Club class.
Germany was not far behind with 3rd and 4th in Standard and 1st and 3rd in Club Class.
It begs the question if Great Britian can achieve this sucess at Junior level why can't Australia do the same? What is Great Britian doing at a Junior level to attract and develop elite junior pilots?
What is preventing Australia developing similiar programmes and achieving the same success?
This will only now serve to attract more junior pilots into gliding in Great Britian.
