The World Indoor Skydiving Championships (WISC), also known as the World Cup of Indoor Skydiving, is an annual indoor skydiving competition sanctioned by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
History WISC was founded in 2014 after the International Parachuting Commission modified its skydiving rules to allow for use indoors. The first WISC event was held at iFLY Austin in Austin, Texas and was attended by a small group of indoor skydiving enthusiasts. From 2014 to 2019, the sport grew significantly in number of competitors, number of categories, and skill level of participants.
Both the 2020 and 2021 WISC events were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine caused the FAI to ban Russian athletes from participating in its events, leading to roughly 70 of the 400 registered flyers being unable to compete in the 2022 Charleroi WISC event. The sport has continued to grow since then, with clips of freestyle performances going viral on social media.
