13 September | October 2023 SKY SAILOR Seventeen pilots arrived at goal to complete the race within 24 hours of the champion, Swiss Christian ‘Chrigel’ Maurer. This year’s Red Bull X-Alps included some historical firsts – the first woman in goal, Austrian Elli Egger, incredible performances by rookies and veterans alike, and the most athletes ever to land on the float – after the longest, and most hard-fought battles. “With the 2023 edition, the race has reached new levels of speed and professionalism.” Richard is grateful to his sponsors, including Nova Paragliders, Montane, Meteo-Parpente, Fly2Base, Koknbull Boronia, Skysight, Relief Maps, Viento and all GoFundMe donators.
