Advanced apologies if we’re late to the craze of Wind Games, but yo we need to talk about Wind Games real quick. It’s the sport of putting on an aerodynamic suit and jumping into a vertical wind tunnel in order to pull off ludicrous stunts.
Wind Games is the dopest, most beautiful sport you probably haven’t heard of
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This video, which is going viral shows Poland’s Maja Kuczyńska doing a freestyle routine at Wind Games 2017. It’s part extreme sport, gymnastics, and modern dance all rolled into one. Watch a few seconds and you might say “that’s neat,” but then it just keeps going for minutes without stopping. How anyone could keep this up seems otherworldly.
Freestyle is just one event they hold at Wind Games. There’s also speed events, where flyers race to complete a list of compulsory moves. Dynamic events, in which flyers are judged similar to a traditional gymnastics event and the aforementioned freestyle. These are competed in solo, pairs or groups of four — which gets to be ludicrous when four people are in the tunnel.
2017 marked the fourth year of competition. Now, we’ll definitely have it on our calendars.
