The WindGames (formerly The Wind Games) are annual indoor skydiving competitions hosted by Windoor, an operator of vertical wind tunnels.

History

[edit]

The first WindGames event took place in 2014 at Windoor's indoor skydiving facility in Empuriabrava, Spain, where every event has been held since. The WindGames includes Vertical Formation Skydiving, 4-way Formation Skydiving, 2-way Dynamic, 4-way Dynamic, Solo Speed, Freestyle and Freestyle Junior.[1]

In January 2016, The WindGames became the first major international competition to mandate a routine performed to music in its freestyle indoor skydiving event.[2] Multiple WindGames events have achieved high levels of publicity, with videos of performances going viral and receiving tens of millions of views across social media platforms.[3][4][5] After an extended pause in events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The WindGames resumed in 2024.[6]
