Singapore finishes fourth in 2025 Youth Kite World Championships

🇸🇬 SINGAPORE FINISHES FOURTH IN 2025 FORMULA KITE YOUTH WORLDS 🌎 Max Maeder went into the Medal Series having qualified directly after four days of strong results that put him just one point behind Italy’s Riccardo Pianosi. But Max’s chances took a hit at the start of the four-man final race. In a dramatic start, the 19-year-old was left struggling in a wind-hole while the other three surged forward.  Needing just one win to seal the title, Pianosi took the lead and never looked back.
