Cástor Fantoba, doble bronce en el Mundial de Vuelo Acrobático y se consolida en el Top 5 Mundial

Cástor Fantoba, doble bronce en el Mundial de Vuelo Acrobático y se consolida en el Top 5 Mundial

• El piloto español conquista dos medallas en las modalidades Freestyle y Clásica, sumando un total de 33 medallas en competición FAI y un total de 53 medallas en su trayectoria deportiva.
• En un campeonato de dominio de las potencias tradicionales como Francia y EE.UU. España se consolida como potencia mundial con Fantoba entre los 5 mejores del mundo en la modalidad clásica.

Madrid/Zamosc (Polonia), lunes 26 de agosto de 2024 – Cástor Fantoba hace historia en el mundo del vuelo acrobático español como máximo medallista al conquistar dos medallas de bronce en las modalidades de Freestyle y Clásico en la 32 edición Campeonato del Mundo de Vuelo Acrobático celebrado en Zamosc, Polonia. Con estos dos podios, la suma de sus medallas en eventos FAI asciende a 33 medallas en competición FAI y un total de 53 medallas en su trayectoria deportiva.

Con estas dos medallas, Fantoba se posiciona una temporada más entre los mejores pilotos del mundo y este año celebra 24 años en el Top 10. Su trayectoria de éxitos es un orgullo para el deporte español y un ejemplo para las futuras generaciones de pilotos.

En una competición de altísimo nivel, el piloto de Sangüesa, Navarra demostró una vez más su maestría en los cielos de Polonia haciéndose con la medalla de bronce en la modalidad Freestyle con un resultado ajustadísimo de 82,047% por detrás de Rob Holland, oro, y de Florent Oddon, plata, con unas resultados de 84,952% y 82,930%, respectivamente. Además, Fantoba se sumó otro bronce en la modalidad de Clásico en el programa 'First Unknown'.

Esta edición, reunió a 36 pilotos provenientes de 12 países y tuvo como campeón y subcampeón del Mundo absoluto en la clasificación general de la modalidad clásica a los franceses Florent Oddon y Louis Vanel, junto con Rob Holland, bronce. El navarro Cástor Fantoba se mantuvo consistentemente entre los diez mejores pilotos del mundo, finalizando en la 5ª posición con 79,238 puntos, mientras el malagueño Camilo Benito finalizó en la 33ª posición con 63,282 puntos.

El dominio francés fue evidente en toda la competición, con siete de sus pilotos entre los diez primeros clasificados generales. Sólo dos de los grandes nombres del panorama internacional, el estadounidense Rob Holland y Fantoba, se mantuvieron fuertes a lo largo de la competición y lograron romper la hegemonía francesa.

Fantoba comentó: "Ha sido un campeonato muy exigente pero me he preparado a fondo y he disfrutado cada momento. Competir a nivel mundial siempre es un reto, pero cada vuelo me recuerda por qué me apasiona este deporte. Y añade: "Aunque este año no pudimos formar un equipo nacional completo, estoy orgulloso de seguir llevando el nombre de España en lo más alto. El nivel es cada vez más exigente, pero eso solo nos impulsa a mejorar. España seguirá luchando por estar siempre entre los mejores del mundo."

Camilo destaco: "El arranque de esta competición fue compleja para mi al no estar en condiciones físicas optimas, a lo largo de la competición pude recuperarme del importante resfriado que pille en la travesía desde España a Polonia en el Extra. Para el programa 4, el mas exigente, pude afrontar el reto de volarlo con condiciones físicas optimas y baje del vuelo satisfecho. Además ese vuelo tenia una figura jamás volada en una competición por su extrema complejidad, y hice un vuelo muy correcto."

Alex Moore Mayorga, Jefe de Equipo y Presidente de la Comisión Técnica de Vuelo Acrobático, analizó la competición en Polonia: "Ha sido una temporada y un Mundial complejo, aunque no logramos revalidar el título de subcampeones del mundo por equipos al no llevar 3 pilotos, Camilo y Cástor han demostrado un gran espíritu competitivo, luchando arduamente por las medallas en las categorías de Ilimitado y Freestyle. Nos sentimos muy satisfechos con el resultado obtenido. Enfrentarnos a un equipo francés con 10 pilotos de los cuales 6 son profesionales y todos de primer nivel y a la potencia de Rob Holland de Estados Unidos representaba un desafío formidable. Estoy muy orgullosa de lo conseguido. Ahora nos prepararemos para afrontar el Europeo con disciplina y un equipo ampliado."

• Cástor Fantoba y Camilo Benito son los pilotos españoles que competirán a partir del 16 de agosto en Polonia
• El campeonato contará con 38 pilotos de 13 países, entre los que destacan Martin Sonka, Rob Holland, Mikaël Brageot y Louis Vanel.

Madrid/Zamosc (Polonia), 13 de agosto de 2024 – El Equipo Nacional de Vuelo Acrobático de España (ENVA) estará presente junto a otros 12 combinados internacionales para disputar el Mundial de Vuelo Acrobático, organizado por la FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale), en Zamosc (Polonia).

Cástor Fantoba y Camilo Benito serán los representantes españoles en el WAC 2024, aunque sin la opción de defender su actual título de subcampeones del mundo dado que en esta ocasión no se ha podido completar el equipo nacional, y buscarán luchar por las medallas en las categorías de Ilimitado y Freestyle.

Los pilotos españoles se preparan para enfrentar una competencia de altísimo nivel en la próxima cita internacional de acrobacia aérea. Entre los adversarios más destacados se encuentran figuras de renombre mundial, como el checo Martin Šonka, el talentoso y múltiple campeón de freestyle Rob Holland de EEUU, y los franceses Mikaël Brageot y Louis Vanel, quienes han demostrado un desempeño excepcional en anteriores competiciones internacionales. Para consultar el listado completo de participantes y el calendario detallado del evento, se puede acceder al siguiente enlace (aquí).

El evento comprende cuatro vuelos de dificultad creciente, en la especialidad de Clásico y un vuelo libre de Freestyle de 4 minutos para determinar los mejores pilotos del mundo individuales y por equipos, título que ostentará el ganador durante 2 años.

Puedes seguir a los pilotos en los perfiles sociales del ENVA (Instagram y Facebook) y ver los detalles sobre el campeonato y para seguir el desarrollo del evento, visite el sitio web oficial: www.wac2024.pl.

Book: A Record-Breaking Global Flight

Miguel Angel Gordillo is the first man who circumnavigated the earth over both poles in a homebuilt aircraft under 1750 kg. In 2016 he covered 41,000 nm in two legs in the shape of an eight at extreme flight conditions over desert, jungle, mountains, ocean and ice. This earned him the world record of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

The scientific, aeronautical and personal challenges, experiences and encounters on his flight over both poles provided the extraordinary material for this book to document the uniqueness of his world record in words and pictures.
