OFFICIAL RESULTS OF THE 2022 FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP
End of the competition today! The week was packed with events, and despite the scorching heat our competitors turned in some very fine performances during this championship week. On the paramotor side, Marie Matéos won the elite foot-launch title. This is the first time a woman has become French Champion, congratulations to her! Women are very much present on the paramotor podiums: in the espoir (rising talent) foot-launch class, Sévérine Deutsch and Morgane Planton took 2nd and 3rd place respectively. In two-seat trike launch, Armelle Segond, Oriane Breuzard and Sandra Moreels are on the podium.
On the microlight side, the week's outstanding performance also goes to a woman, Lison Rebouillat, who finished 3rd in the overall scratch ranking with her single-seat weight-shift. It is also worth noting that many microlights flew in from all over France to take part in this French Championship: Fréjus, Chambéry, Blois and Ste Thorette, among others.
Below you will find the ranking of the last microlight event and the official overall rankings in all categories. Congratulations to all!

Two events today for our microlight pilots, still under the heat of the south-west. They competed in an economy event and a precision landing. Our paramotor pilots, for their part, flew 3 events: 2 photo navigations going to the Nauxion microlight strip (LF3266) and back to Auch, then a pure economy event in which the pilots set off with 2 litres of fuel in the tank.
