The first Handifly European challenge initiated by the French Federation of Skydiving has just ended on the Skydiving School of Lille-Bondues. By bringing together 13 countries and 36 competitors, it is with great pride coupled with satisfaction that Marie-Claude Feydeau, President of the French Skydiving Federation, awarded the medals for the winners ceremony, held in the presence of all delegations. As a priority for the FFP, accessibility for all skydivers was a fundamental focus for the President and her team. Terminating her term on this challenge that follows the World Championships in which France has been once again awarded as the greatest skydiving nation in the world, Marie-Claude Feydeau intended to contribute to innovate and to uphold the French tradition. The love of Sport, the quest for autonomy, the ability to accomplish through sport, pushing oneself to the limits, have enriched discussions between competitors, tandem instructors and videomen throughout these three days.

HFEC 2016, From Innovation to Durability
The rules and the rewards have been changed compared to the French Handy championship, held in Vichy last August. It was decided a ranking and a reward per round, followed by an overall ranking. In addition, the judges were asked to focus on the non action of the instructor and the videoman who should not help during the execution of the rotations.
Tandem jumps with a disable person requires a perfect weather, especially in terms of wind speed. Friday, the wind was too weak and dangerous for landing, because of the lack of lift; on Saturday it was too strong, and could have caused an excessive drift with big canopies and a too fast ground speed. The strength of this event was to bring together handiskydivers, skilled skydivers, and members of French teams …. through a Top level competition. These meeting deeply surprised some European participants by the richness of the exchanges they were able to share. When they talk about the difficulties in this sport, it is not related to their disability but, to the idea of extreme sport that skydiving traditionally conveys. Many delegations, especially envious of the facilities adopted by France, not financially speaking but regarding willingness and human commitment, are determined to become the messenger in their country, especially regarding the last technical advances (harness and tandem suits, specific carts for parasailing, …). Some competitors jumped for the first time, while others had already done hundred jumps. According to the type of disability (amputation), some are even self-reliant.
For Marie-Claude Feydeau, it is “the beginning of a story”. By continuing the momentum of the FFP, the President hopes to raise awareness of international Federations to get to grips with the project, to make the sport still more accessible for people with reduced mobility.
HandiFly Euro Challenge : Skydiving Opening
By replying to the invitation of Erasmus for a European project, the FFP has received a major funding for this challenge. A full mobilization of the whole members of the Federation, the judges, the volunteers, helped to surpass the target of the Federation. Demonstration jumps by the French team of Canopy Formation and conferences were organized. In the meantime, activities organized by the Hauts de France League of the French Handisport Federation were held ; young people from 12 to 25 years, invited by social urban organizations were met. Parasailing flights with carts, wind tunnel, and activities in wheelchairs to increase awareness to disability have been proposed, in the company of the French national teams.
