KUNMING, Dec. 28 -- China occupied the first palce on the opening day of the 2018 Wingsuit Flying World Championship at Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County of southwest China's Yunnan Province.
The event, "Wings for Love", is slated from December 28 to January 1.
The Chinese team successfully completed the flying of high difficulty and made a more accurate landing to leading France and Chile on second and third respectively.
All the flyers are required to jump from an altitude of 1000 meters and land as closely as possible over a target on the ground after passing through a 20-meter wide gap between two hot air balloons at a height of
200 meters.
"I believe that the players will show us the most wonderful and thrilling wingsuit flying competition with their extraordinary brave stunts," said Xu Kai, chairman of the championship committee.
Over 20 world top wingsuit flyers from 9 countries participate in the event, such as reverse wingsuit flying for personal challenge and the wingsuit formation flying in the night to challenge the Guinness World Record for prizes and praise.
All the prizes will be donated to local children, the organizers said.
The event, hailed as the "Olympics" for wingsuit flying, is the largest international wingsuit flying event.
