The five World Parachute Jumping Championships begin on Sunday, 18 October in Eloy, Arizona, USA.
Athletes from 29 nations will compete over seven days in five disciplines—Artistic Events, Canopy Piloting, Canopy Piloting Freestyle, Formation Skydiving and Speed Skydiving—under the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI). American Curt Bartholomew is the favorite to defend his 2024 Canopy Piloting title, while French champion Cédric Veiga Rios and Italian Armando Fattoruso also challenge in that event; the USA aims to extend its 2024 success in Formation Skydiving where it won all four world titles, with French, Belgian and Qatari teams as main rivals, and current Speed Skydiving champions Niklas Daniel (USA) and Natisha Dingle (Australia) set to defend their titles.
