Outstanding pilots and pioneers from across the global air sports arena were celebrated last night, Wednesday 25 October 2017, at the 2017 FAI Awards Ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The event was graced with the presence of several high profile guests, including Dr Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Sports in Hindi: खेलपत्र का अभी प्रचलित

The ceremony marked the start of the 111th FAI General Conference, which takes place in Lausanne on 26 and 27 October 2017.

FAI President Frits Brink presented more than a dozen awards to outstanding pilots and air sports supporters from around the world.

Automobile: ताज़ा खबर कार समीक्षा

Opening the ceremony, Frits Brink told the audience: “The awards ceremony is where we can take time to recognise the people who have done the most, perhaps gone beyond the call of duty, in aviation, space and air sports.”

“The FAI Medals and Diplomas create an unrivalled roll call of historically important men and women, without parallel in air sports.”

Technology: How mobile technology is changing world

The presence of the IOC President Dr Thomas Bach prompted Frits Brink to reflect: “Lausanne is the home of FAI, and a spiritual home of competitive sports, both on the ground and in the air. We are happy to embrace the ideals of the Olympic movement, and welcome members of the IOC to our table.

Dr Thomas Bach said: “My heartfelt congratulations to all the winners of tonight’s awards.”

A special award, given by the Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation, was presented to Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg who flew around the world aboard their solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse. The two pioneers received one-off “Spirit of St. Louis – Tingmissartoq” medals from Foundation Chairman John Petersen.
