What a performance! More than 600 km/h in Speed Skydiving!
Once ratified it will break the record set by Wiederkehr at the FAI World Air Games last year http://bit.ly/2cF9Sh2

Congratulations to Sweden’s Henrik Raimer who broke through the 600 km/h mark in Speed Skydiving at the 2016 Mondial / WPC in Chicago, USA yesterday. 👊
He hit an impressive 601.26 km/h in free-fall. Once ratified that will smash the current FAI World Record, which was set at 533.02km/h by Marco Wiederkehr in 2015 at the FAI World Air Games Dubai 2015. http://bit.ly/2cF9Sh2.
When you consider that a peregrine falcon when diving for prey only reaches about 320 km/h you realise just how fast this is!
