TWIN FALLS (AP) - Searchers have found a paraglider who went missing in central Idaho during a week-long gliding competition.

The Blaine County Sheriff's Office says 49-year-old Guy Anderson was found by an Army National Guard helicopter crew Monday afternoon near Fish Creek at Bradsfield Canyon.

The Times-News reports Anderson is a British citizen who was participating in the Paragliding World Cup event in Sun Valley. He was one of two pilots reported missing by event safety officials on Saturday. The other pilot, Juan Becerra from Venezuela, was found Monday afternoon.

The sheriff's office says Anderson was evaluated for injuries to his arm, ribs, spine and possible internal injuries. Bacerra needed no medical assistance.
