The first wingsuit flying world championship opened in Zhangjiajie, in central China's Hunan province, with the participation of the world's top 15 wingsuit fliers.
The rules require competitors to jump off a cliff 1,400 meters above sea level
on top of the Tianmen Mountain in China,
complete a loop-like flight in the valley and glide across the terminal of
the cableway before they open their parachute and land at the finish line on
the mountain road.
The competitor who finishes the whole course in the shortest time is the
winner.
According to schedule, the 16 contestants made two preliminary flights on
Wednesday and the top eight will go into the final on Thursday.
Six of the 15 top fliers are from the
United States and there are three air photographers.
