Another rainy day controlled Zhangjiajie, for which the first wing-suit flying grand prix have to be put off again. Whether the exciting moment will happen or mot certainly depends on the whether of tomorrow.The fog has been haunting around the whole Tianmen Mountain for the whole day. As a result, people can see nothing from the summit of this mountain but a world of white. Since wing-suit flying is one of the most difficult extreme sports, it is very dangerous and even fatal to undertake it in such low visibility. The finish line is the middle part of the cable way and the landmark for the contestants to turn and fly through the line is on the highway down the bottom of the mountain. The heavy fog made it impossible to see the cableway (the finish line) let alone the landmark.Will the whether be clear to undertake the grand prix? Notice the daily renewing of this website, please!Translated by Vincent Chou

Wing-Suit flying, also named short-distance sky glide sport, has a history less than 20 years and is very dangerous and difficult to take. As a result, it was considered as the peak of extreme sports and there are just several hundreds wing-suit flying athletes on earth. As to flying in high speed off cliff, high building or other barriers in complex environments, there are rarely people who can manage it.The First Red Bull Wing-Suit Flying World Championship has three rounds known as the Qualifying, the Preliminary Contest and the Final Contest. Athletes will jump off from the top of Tianmen Mountain which is actually a cliff with the altitude of 1,400 meters. Then over the valley, they will fly in a track like a giant circle and will shoot out their parachutes after reaching the finish line —- Tienmen Mountain cable way. And finally they will land at the winding highways at the bottom of Tianmen Mountain.J Ray Corliss, as the initiator of WWL and also a contestant, said that “This will be the most impressing flying contest in the world which is like a F1 equation. The contest will be undertaken above the valley, which requires relatively higher flying skills. Around the whole world, less than 20 athletes can make it.”Translated by Vincent Chou
