The World Air Games (WAG) started in 1997 and is an international air sports event organized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (International Aeronautical Federation - FAI), inspired by the Olympic Games and held every four years.
The 2009 edition was held near Torino, Italy and among numerous air sport disciplines the games included paragliding and hang-gliding aerobatics as well. The contest was held near Avigliana and pilots exclusively launched by d-bagging from a helicopter. A part of the competition was broadcast live every day in the Italian media.
It was an invitational competition with only the world's top elite in both solo and synchro categories.
