The French team is about to leave for Egypt

3 days to go before the paramotor slalom world championships

The team of paramotor competitors selected for the 3th Slalom World Championships 2018, to be held on Lake Bayoum in Egypt from 27 October to 5 November 2018, together with its coaching staff, is about to fly out to Egypt.
