| Speed Skydiving: Results of Lapalisse The speed skydiving competition hosted by Lapalisse got through with just three runs. A big wave of bad weather that swept over France during last week gave just time enough to run two last runs on Sunday evening. There was over 30 speeders who attended the meet, and approximately 15 others who announced they would not come because of the bad weather.
Ashley Crick from Australia won the Men's international event with a speed of 491.35 km/h over the kilometer on his last run followed by Mike Brooke from France with 487.62 km/h and Jean Christophe Magnient of France in third position with 425.52 km/h.
Wendy Smith from New Zealand won the womens international event with a speed of 399.90 km/h Wendy nearly became the first woman to break the wall of 400 km/h. She was followed by Christine Simon of France with a score of 373.77 and Agnes Roumaneix with a score of 361.45 km/h.
Sven Zimmermann from Germany was the most constant speeds, followed by Jude Haig.
