What’s a National Champion vs Open Champion?
The annual Australian Indoor Skydiving Championships underwent a name change in 2018 to become the Australian Open Indoor Skydiving Championships to allow international competitors to attend and place at the event. It also means that the top ranking Australian in the category qualifies to compete at the following World Championships. In recognition of our Australian and International competitors, we held 2 medal presentations for those relevant categories.
