109 records in a year and new rankings: ISC sets its 2026 direction
Delegates representing 48 nations approved rule changes, digital projects and ranking development for wingsuit flying and Indoor Para Skydiving.
AI artRepresentatives of 48 nations attended the January ISC plenary in Riyadh, directly or by proxy. The annual meeting is where international rules, event bids and infrastructure projects are approved.
The 2025 record picture
ISC reported ratifying 109 world records during 2025. The number spans disciplines and record types, so it is not a single performance trend, but it indicates the scale of formally verified activity.
Rankings and digital infrastructure
- wingsuit flying and Indoor Para Skydiving rankings are planned for development in 2026
- the commission is developing a new registration tool
- a comprehensive officials database update is planned
- most discipline-committee rule proposals were approved
Official rankings already operate in canopy piloting, parachute-ski, speed skydiving, and style and accuracy. Adding disciplines can improve comparison, qualification and pre-event communication.
Canopy piloting and the World Games
ISC confirmed its intention to propose canopy piloting for the 2029 World Games in Germany. That is a step in a process, not confirmation that the discipline is already on the programme.
