competitive skydiving

Competitive skydiving is a sport where participants perform precise, planned jumps, often involving freefall formations, accuracy, or style. Jumpers coordinate their maneuvers during freefall, demonstrating control, timing, and skill. They typically deploy their parachutes at a designated altitude, then land accurately on target to earn points. Competitions may feature multiple events like formation skydiving (building patterns in freefall) or accuracy landing (hitting a specific spot). Success depends on teamwork, body positioning, and consistency. The sport combines athleticism, precision, and mental focus, emphasizing safety and mastery of parachuting techniques.
