First world cup trial of skydiving

16/06/14

The first test of the parachuting world cup specialty precision landing took place in 13 June in Croatia.

28 teams participated representing 18 nations. The wind, particularly strong and turbulent, made it possible to complete only three of the eight planned launches. The parachuting section of the army participated with seven men and one woman. It should be noted that the Italian national team was composed exclusively of army athletes. Once again, therefore, our athletes have brought prestige to the armed force by reconfirming themselves at the top of the world. The second round of the World Cup (WCS, or World Cup Series) will take place from 27 to June 29 in Slovenia. A top-level competition will be held with well-registered 48 teams.Team results:1 Slovenia2 Italy National Team (Army) 3 United Arab EmiratesIndividual results:Tie first: -CMCS Gullotti Francesco (Army) -Domen Vodisek and Karun Roman (Slovenia) -Zanetti Daniel (Switzerland)
