1st time I follow a gliding and paragliding competition live on internet !!!

The World air games have started in Torino (Italy). I just went to the web site www.wag2009.com and clicked on the link Live streaming, wondering what this would be about. Probably some cameras on the ground shooting the demos in the air... Could not me more wrong. First the first time I attended a race comment based on Google earth images, real time ! All the gliders transmitting real time their position, altitude, climbing rate.

Unbelievable ! we got there were we can now shoot and comment real events, tactics...without a camera... Distance gliding race like you have never seen it ! Next could added some cameras on the ground or in some of the gliders in order to also give the real atmosphere... Could Gliding become a TV sport ? I think it can with that technology.
