is here, but they want be another one for nearly a year. there's a downside to the sick and then of course it's i brought that it will be difficult to see a movie or show that is due to peek on sunday. right . that's all for now. up next sports law may say hum, gary in hot air balloon. paula is coming up next day with the when i was 8 years old. i was already dreaming of the future as a senior. i wanted to become a hero of my family. the dream was within reach, she'd become a star in turkey overnight. then a man took everything from with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt her life. and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred. and the daughters. i am willing to work for change tax

and also so i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard back to bring to our seeking justice for the victims of fin aside starts november 21st on the w, the touch. the ballooning is not just a spectacle. it's a serious sport. and re to bet says greatest passion. yeah. but it's incredible and you can feel the com. that's an order for me up here. so it gives me such a secure vision that everything will be okay. that's when it gets hit on it. that's why i definitely said after the reach of bets is hungary. best female pilots and she'll be competing this is well championships in her home country re to into team assessing a difficult course against competitors from wealthy nations. as i can mean, that's all about pushing my limits. lexus mission to
8:17 am
re, to bets doesn't hide a passion for hoss tabulating as you can tell from her home. and i said, well, someone once tried to count on the balloon items here, but lost count re to 1st goes into hotel ballooning. so 2 years ago at dice with a friend of mine 1st started talking about hot air ballooning, and i said i'd like to try it myself. there was no gps based technology like this to help us. so each team was assigned an observer to record the results that me and that's how i did my 1st race session. it became quite a love affair. she's an engineer by profession and teaches mathematics. she's now preparing for her 1st well championships in her country hungry in the city of say good men and women will compete in the same category. but there are for a few a women, pilots in house have learning with many choosing somebody likes the sports that
8:18 am
read to says she chose bags instead of fortunately, i included the family with it and sometimes we went hang gliding with a baby in a stroller. i took her to a race with us and the best net watched while my mom's flu or my mom came down to watch her while i flew. and when she was older, my mom would help and take care of schoolwork and i'm sure you're fishing. she has to do, which is one of them is also training to become a pilot. you can't take off the whole tabulated alone. you need to team 3 to is assisted by hip hop. now your chef fuels that has probably to sing experience years has helps with the technique measuring the wind and driving between target. so on the grounds, you know, so i'm going to talk to you. i think rita is about to pilot than i am. and that's why she should fly while i stay on the ground where she has been improved by organized the finances, try to bring the money in while she flies ish. we spend on a common hobby,
8:19 am
essentially, but at least not in that house down here is that he gave me reaches home life is the key connected to what's happening and it's not just touch a to that proves that she and yours. you have 1st met to us in events and i was, i met my ex husband at a hot air balloon competition. i'm after 20 years we went our separate ways. but both continued ballooning. we had met and that'll be it was just during that time i asked him to help me out as a team member several times and eventually we got together. and then it's not like any one hop does it. and the other half of it goes along with their tool. not . i think it's like a disease and infection this flight that leaves people together. and we think that are in the same way of doing that, but it can be shipped and do that to them. to team is not enough, he will send these ideal conditions to take off. some wind is needed too much, is no good. every takeoff is preceded by intense preparations for the good. now we
8:20 am
for the burner on, we're putting the gas pipes in here behind this cover so that they don't get in the way and so that they don't get stuck. cosmic it go from now the burner test, the physical for the balloon holds 4000 cubic meters. we bought it 2nd hand in australia and we can carry passengers with it being of asked. and one of my racing balloons is like an opal that competes against jaguar's. so it looks good and you can race with it to some extent. but while i'm on the front of it, there are other balloons that can ascend much faster. your show back, i do, sir. is she a basic cape effect? officer blowing in 4000 cubic meters of hotel re to is ready for the take of everything goes smoothly and a few minutes late to the news is in the the more than i have a fear of i want, but i don't fill it in the blank from the uh,
8:21 am
everything seems different. there's a sense of calm, but only because rita has things under control. she checks the wind data on the map on her tablets. ballooning isn't cheap. a single flight cost small than $500.00 heroes. sorry after them. unfortunately for our own enjoyment, we can really afford to fly because it's expensive until we have a sponsor, and we can't afford to do it regularly. i'm so different, i guess. so we really only fly competitively. if we have passengers, let's say the racing takes the money, the passengers can make some of the back. but at 900 meters, it's no soul about money. anytime i think it's indescribable, the piece freely when you don't have to heat it. i guess it's quite different when you're buying, just like that compared to a competition where you're concentrating on the task here and you can enjoy the scenery. see what you can see from up there. that's quite different from down there . i guess management plan to us in the 2nd,
8:22 am
the preparations to the world championships are already underway a day before the official. i think some of the competitors, including rita and 10 mudy recruited team coming for a test drive. they begin the takeoff in the middle of the city from us football page as they inflate the balloon locals watch with interest rates. this balloon arrives safely at the agreed spelt 5 kilometers away. the team has done well. it's a new team and we needed to prepare for the world, the cottonwood that we delayed take off until the last minute. but there wasn't much time to talk through tasking with connecting with the we managed window is 5 in the morning of the big day, the well championship begins. a 130 of the world's best pilot sagacity. for the briefing. the weather is over cost and the teams of waiting for the latest wednesday to find the lead. the pilots get ready for the situation. remain is unset
8:23 am
. if the flight was free, i go back to bed. the teams begin to gather, waiting for the race judge's final decision. but the weather intervenes. the weather is not right for the flight because it's already raining and their strong wind up high, which is set to come down. you will have 10 meter per 2nd wind soon. that's just a part of it. the one to is pressed to in the afternoon and the full cost is good. teams don't to impact. that's so close together that sometimes the balloons of touching the well, then a $120.00 balloons take off the pilot. so supported by data from the ground. the. the data didn't come up quarterly. it's uh 265129. 44 just makes measurements. with balloons and transmits it to the sky. technology is that for everyone as a team from a well see, a country has
8:24 am
a better option to collect the data. we also have to we used to say it's 50 percent talent, 50 percent locked on to so you can fly precisely. but the wind might turn in the last 50 to 150 meter. that's what you want it. obviously, if you want to wait in the sense of measurement that it's very accurate, you can use 10 to 15 of those got just to get an accurate reading quantity of that, that helps a lot. the 2nd we use 3 prob don't they use 15 percent of? it's just a question of money to finish. good. hesitant walter says the name of one of the tasks they have to perform in the yeah, the balloons don't race that maneuver and perform challenges. some of them involve throwing a mock up from the balloon at target. so on the grounds, they also have to fly into certain areas which are checked by officials using gps data. they have multiple flights during the week, depending on with pilot scale points to that performance each day on the pilot with
8:25 am
the most points wins. although it looks nice, the weather conditions proved tricky in this boat to climate change, just having an impact on 1000 feet, the wind stopped completely and so we didn't expect it to be that strong on the ground instead of ship. it was almost stronger than any wind up there. the weather is not changing favorably. very often, the wind is still good on the ground level, but it's already stronger at 3 level. it's not favorable and these thunderstorms and so on becoming much more unpredictable academy. regardless of the weather, the competition requires a lot of background work notating from the pilots, but also from that teams. the balloons a heated with gas, which has to be refilled off to each flight. the capabilities differ teams from western europe, north america or asia often have new and liked to equipment and largest teams. reach his team is smaller that might to,
8:26 am
she's assisted by shorter who is just about to go to university. they are one of the few female pilots, the co pilot passed the events. shara plans to follow and reach his foot steps and become a pilot test. so i think dr. young, i mean, i watch the other big ones so that rita can keep an eye on the instrument. well, it's always the low up and the one that has priority, because you cannot see ports if someone starts to rise above us, we have to rise to. so that they don't to the us if we wanted to send a check, if someone is a router i took the time, i look at the coordinates and things like that. we are. 2 off to a quick sleep back to the race another do another briefing. the team start to get ready in 6 folk as it lift the balloons can take off. even in the, the balloons almost touch. after a difficult stopped, everything goes smoothly in the sky and rita has her best day at the world championships. but the winds make navigate sion tricky once again as on record when
8:27 am
you ascend and then the others ascended smoothly. but then the wind pushes you out in the wrong direction. it doesn't help. maybe my balloon has a different shape, like where i don't see that so much and because i'm trying to take care of it and then we got you on. or maybe it's just bad luck. i don't know. but i don't feel that deluxe actors working for me yet. to me as i'm going through the settings of folks to doesn't like him though it was due to the volatile weather conditions. early 5 of the 10 planned flights could take place that the whole event retail finished false in the women's category at the world championships. who will have the number to i'm not happy with my result. that's for sure. it was an easy flying between so many balloons. nor with my beloved, it required a lot of going up and down very quickly. it was difficult to track so many balloons at one sort of figure. i mean, i can ignore them and not care about what might happen if we crash. but i moved up a 117 places in the world rankings validate, so that's not
8:28 am
a bad result. manual setup man. all the while championship is over, this sport remains an important part of reaches life. hotel, ballooning is no, certainly an unpredictable spot that always brings has something surprising. it's a passion that connects with her family and friends and a special way of life. inquiry, it's good to pause for a moment to see where you've been, the only make it strictly a for example, if the women's world championships are held there i've been to america, japan and ballooning is what got me there despite the financial implications through how tabulating rita can explode the wealth from new heights, the sunlight. steel,
