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.
