Stefanie Liller and Christian Wagner also touched down around an hour later. They were still in the lead with 2111.17 km covered. But they had to tremble for victory, as Andreas Zumrode and Axel Huhnekul were still gaining kilometers in their GER-3 balloon in the hinterland. The two did not run out of breath so quickly. The balloon made very slow but steady progress. In the end, however, it was not enough for them to beat the new world vice-champions Kurt Frieden and Pascal Witpr\u00e4chtiger and the new world champions and winners of the 67th World Cup.<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Coupe A\u00e9ronautique Gordon Bennett, Stefanie Liller and Christian Wagner from Austria.\u00a0<strong>BO<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b25ee7d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b25ee7d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8a57f9\" data-id=\"c8a57f9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-659a692 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"659a692\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/l7ESFRo2ugE&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gordon Bennett 2024: Team SUI-1 finishes runner-up This year's world championship in long-distance gas ballooning could not have been more exciting.
