Water Cup Final Showdown at the World Cup
The Paragliding World Cup final is set to take place this weekend at Wasserkuppe, with local competitors Linus and Lennard Schubert from Poppenhausen aiming to make a mark in the challenging event.
The competition for medals is a crucial part of the Paragliding World Cup final, and this year, the discipline for the final is "Accuracy". In this discipline, pilots aim to hit a target on the ground with a center two centimeters in diameter.
Lennard Schubert, who is 18 years old, and his younger brother Linus, who is 16, have consistently made it to the podium in numerous international competitions in recent months. Lennard placed second in the Paragliding World Cup Final in 2025 from Poppenhausen, finishing third overall behind Yang Chen and Matjaz Sluga. Linus has also shown promising potential, with several top finishes under his belt.
Pilots are winched up to 400 meters above Wasserkuppe for the medal competition. As they approach the target, spectators gather around, discussing and cheering on the pilots. The potential for wind and landing precision adds excitement to the competition.
The target for the medal competition is located directly at the Fliegerdenkmal. Referees measure the distance of pilots from the center when they touch down, and the approach of pilots towards the target can be exciting due to the potential for wind and landing precision.
The competition atmosphere includes spectators cheering on pilots and discussions among other pilots. The Fliegerdenkmal serves as the location of the target for both the final and the medal competition.
Sudden wind can affect the pilots' landing during the competition, adding an extra layer of challenge. However, both Linus and Lennard Schubert have proven their skills and precision in previous competitions, making them favourites for the competition.
The competition for medals takes place on Saturday, promising an exciting day for paragliding enthusiasts and spectators alike. The Paragliding World Cup final at Wasserkuppe is shaping up to be a thrilling event, with the Schubert brothers aiming to make history in their hometown.
