The 2010 edition of TEOG includes a new discipline, which will be a demonstration event this year: paragliding.
Paragliding was developed in the High Savoy region at the beginning of the 1980s when several young parachutists, searching for a way to become airborne without the cost and restrictions involved in jumping from an airplane, decided to take off from a steep grassy hillside. Thus, the first groups of parachutists were formed that start their flight from slopes and cliffs. From that moment on, the sport took hold and the number of followers increased enormously.
