101 all-female skydiving team breaks Russian record for formation jump

An all-female group of 101 skydivers have broken a record in Russia for forming a flower in the sky. According to the Independent, the group known as ”Pearls of the Sky” dedicated their formation to former captain Irina Sinitsina, who died during a skydiving stunt in California last year. Only a year ago Sinitsina had led the team in an 88-person flower free fall formation. In honour of Sinitsina, the team left one space empty to signify a ‘missing petal’, the report added. (ANI)
