During the Eskilstuna Open gliding competition, a 244 km cross-country flight was planned. After about 70 km, the pilot of glider SE-TKU, a Standard Cirrus, decided to make an out-landing. The right wing struck an obstacle at the edge of the field, and the glider ground-looped to the right, sustaining major damage.
