European Gliding Championships 2013

The Ostrów Wielkopolski site provides a fairly continuous live video coverage of the event at the competition website.

The morning (usually 9:00am UTC) live report is done during the glider launches (in the background) and is focused on the analysis of the previous day competition and a current task.

The evening live broadcast (usually 15:00pm UTC) has the glider landings in the background and carries "hot" interviews with freshly arriving pilots, team coaches and other competition participants.

Independently, a video recordings of the day (pre-task) briefing (in English) are promptly posted to the competition YouTube channel.

There are no significant approach obstacles other than occasional pine groves or 2 story buildings, well off main runway axis.

Farther away some controlled airspace areas do exist, but their positions still allow straight line, uncontrolled flights of about 250 km away from the field in most directions.
