The female high-altitude parachuting team from the Army Special Warfare Command has claimed the top spot in the "Interactive Activities" event at the World Military Paratrooper Championship for the fifth consecutive year.

According to the Army on August 24, the female representative team from the Special Warfare Command won a gold medal in the Interactive Activities event and finished second overall in the women’s division at the 48th International Military Sports Council (CISM) World Military Paratrooper Championship, which took place from August 15 to 22 in Lucenec, Slovakia.

The female team, composed of Sergeant Major Park Iseul, Sergeant Major Lee Jin-young, Sergeant Major Lee Hyun-ji, Sergeant Kim Kyung-seo, and Sergeant Kim Bo-ra, achieved a total score of 92 points in the Interactive Activities event, marking their fifth consecutive gold medal in this category. This year’s competition, with participants from 32 countries, featured three events each for men and women: Interactive Activities, Precision Jump, and Style Jump.

In the Interactive Activities event, four parachuters jump from an altitude of approximately 10,500 feet (about 3,200 meters) and perform a 35-second freefall, during which they must quickly and accurately complete a formation assigned just prior to the jump.

Kim Daewon, the team leader and Major, stated, "Based on the experience gained from this competition, we will prepare even more thoroughly for next year and focus on further improving the practical aerial infiltration capabilities of our special forces personnel."
