Team Qatar's jumpers won the bronze medal in the four-way formation skydiving category at the 24th FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale - World Air Sports Federation) World Championship of Formation Skydiving in Kemerovo, Russia, yesterday.

Qatar finished third in the four-way formation competition with 160 points after six rounds as bad weather forced the organisers to abandon the remaining four rounds. Belgium (193) clinched the gold medal while USA (169) finished second.

In the eight-way category, Qatar finished fourth after seven rounds with 131 points.
