Singaporean teen bags indoor skydiving gold

Year 2 Visual Arts student, Kyra Poh, clinched the top position in the junior freestyle category at the Federation Aeronautique Internationale World Cup of Indoor Skydiving held in Warsaw, Poland, this year. Even though her shoe fell out during the routine, Kyra kept her cool and completed the entire routine successfully. Kyra also placed fourth in the Dynamic 2 way category with her 15-year-old team mate, Choo Yi Xuan.

Kyra hopes that the sport of indoor skydiving will be better known in Singapore after her performance in Poland, and that indoor skydiving will be an Olympic sport one day.
