A gliding exhibition was held at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. The sport is overseen internationally by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), which is an International Olympic Committee (IOC)-recognized federation. The FAI Gliding Commission (IGC) conducts the federation’s gliding activities, in particular World Records and international competitions (except for glider aerobatics).
The FAI, also well known by its English name, World Air Sports Federation, was created on 14 October 1905, in Paris, France, with founding members from eight countries. As of January 2026, the federation has over 100 members from 91 nations.
International championships are run all over the world. Among these, the FAI Sailplane Grand Prix sees the world’s best glider pilots compete in a final after qualifying from events around the globe.
