British Team Selection

Ever wondered how the British Paragliding Team was selected? The Competitions Panel over the years has had to choose the best pilots to represent the UK on the world stage these so-called FAI Category 1 (Cat 1) competitions are for the major honors in the sport and currently, Team GB holds the individual and team gold medals.

The process for selection of the team used to be through an arcane process of selectors. This has changed to a much simpler fairer and more transparent system and is based on FAI WPRS points. John Silvester and the XC League have a live system that shows pilots where they are in the selection process. Its open for all to see and check how close they are to getting on the British Team.
