But who is he? According to his profile. He is 41, single, lives in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland and likes beekeeping, astronomy. Training and flight safety officer. Lardner is also the FAI.

http://chabre2009.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. The (unconfirmed) rumour is that three time Class 1 World Champion and four time Class 2 (Swift Light) World Champion Manfred Ruhmer will be flying for Austria. He left hang gliding competition flying five years ago, but has started dabbling again - he just won Bassano in Italy. Wil he or won´t he be in Laragne? And if he is, will it make Austria unbeatable? Saturday, April 11, 2009. Comp poster and press pack unveiled. And it is beginning! And French champs in 2000, 2003 and 2006.

http://stevebsoaring.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Steve B at the European comps. Friday, July 17, 2009. Thanks to our sponsors. I have collected signatures on special edition envelopes printed for the worlds at Laragne as a thank you for those who donated to the team fund. Who can you pick? Ager day 5 - a great racing day to the big ridge. Another great racing day. Jonny's video is about the best report on the day you can get. Aeros tail next to my base bar at setup. An agressive flare was needed in the leeside landing area. Wednesday, July 15, 2009.

Chabre 2009: Tuesday 30 June: Task 5: 130km: Stopped
http://chabre2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/tuesday-30-june.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Tuesday 30 June: Task 5: 130km: Stopped. Tom Payne watching from Geneva posted a good question:.

Everyone will just have to wait and see. Task stopped at 3.44pm. Rain was reported -...The s...
