Sounds like an action movie, but it's a World Cup! Salzburg's parachute jumpers are on their way to the home spectacle in St. Johann im Pongau. Athletes from seven different nations also have to complete two giant alpine slaloms after the jump. There was an unusual training camp before the highlight... 

The change could hardly be greater. From sunshine and pleasant temperatures in the Bahamas back to the dreary weather in Salzburg. The HSV Red Bull Salzburg skydivers have to cope with this change. "We were given the opportunity to train another formation at a training camp. Of course we took advantage of this opportunity," says Sophie Grill, raving about the conditions in the Caribbean.
