Accuracy Landing World Record (December 2013)

The last international competition in Accuracy Landing of the 2013 season has got together all the best specialists in the World at the amazing place of Skydive Dubai Parachuting Club (Palm Islands). And this competition has given a level never reached before. The Dubai International Parachuting Championship (DIPC) is being held under the patronage of his Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubaî and Chairman of Dubaï Sports Council. Sunshine and bright sky were present in the middle of Dubaï higher buildings for this amazing showdown. Thomas has won the 4th Dubaï International Parachuting Championship (4th DIPC), with a performance of 02 cm in 10 Rounds. This Result let him break the World Record of Individual Accuracy Landing, (previously 03 cm). The Record has been validated by the FAI, (

) in the beginning of 2014. Thomas has also set the World Record in Team Accuracy Landing in 2011 (with French Team)


Career

Since his beginnings in 1999, Thomas has been a member of the CERP Alsace Club (Centre École Régional Parachutisme Alsace). He did all his training in Strasbourg under the orders of Gilles Nicolas, and he started competition with the Strasbourg Team in 2000. He is then the spearhead of the Strasbourg Competition Team which participates in the France Cup Tour, as well as in the French Championship by Club Team. For him: "competition is a real vector of dynamism for an associative club, but you also have to know how to open up to the general public and make people discover this sport through demonstration and initiation actions". He is involved in the development of the club and skydiving in Alsace, thanks to the unfailing support of the city of Strasbourg and the Alsace Region. "It's okay to try to give back, a bit of what we've been given." Thomas has started skydiving at the age of 15 (legal minimum), following in the footsteps of his father and brother Simon. He progressed rapidly and took part in his first competitions the same year, including the French junior championship. Thanks to those promising performances, the DTN (National Technical Department) incorporated him in the French Junior Team in 2000. His constant progress opened the doors of the Collectif France to him in 2004. He then participated that year in his first international competitions with the French Team. He joined the Air Force and the Collective of High Level Sportsmen of Defense in 2006 and officially became a professional sports parachutist. Its progression is continuous during the following years. He climbed on numerous national and international podiums between 2005 and 2009, before winning the supreme title of world champion in 2010, on the occasion of his first participation in the world championship. He confirmed the following year by winning two silver medals in Accuracy and Team Accuracy at the 2011 European Championship. He set at this occasion, with the french team, the new World Record of Team Accuracy. In 2013, he set the new world record of Accuracy at the Dubai International Championship, which he still holds as of January 1, 2023. In 2016, he won 3 French championship titles and achieved an unprecedented treble in France (Accuracy, Style, Combined). However, he only finished 6th at the World Championships in Chicago (USA) that same year and also 6th the following year at the 2017 European Championships in Podgorica (Montenegro). In 2018, he won 2 Bronze medals in Landing Accuracy and in the Overall (Accuracy & Style) at the World Championship at Erden (Bulgaria). In 2019, he left the Strasbourg club after 20 years of common history and joined the CERPS Tallard Club. He has had good results with his new team, including a title of vice champion of France in PA by team in 2019 and 2 consecutive titles of France Champion in Team Accuracy Landing in 2020 and 2021. The 2020 World Championships having been postponed due to the COVID 19 pandemic, it was in 2021 that the event was finally able to take place in Kemerovo (Russia). Thomas finished at the foot of the PA and Combined podiums with a 4th place in the both individual contests. However, he won 2 silver medals with the France team, becoming vice world champion in PA by team and vice world champion in the combined team. In 2022, Thomas notably won 2 bronze medals at the world championship, with the French team, in Team Landing Accuacy and Team Overall. That same year, he also climbed the podium in Individual Landing Accuracy, during the final step of the World Cup in Locarno (Switzerland), ranking 3rd. Thomas is trained by Jacques Baal (former world champion in the discipline, and national coach). At the end of 2022, he had more than 10,000 jumps to his credit, in his specialty discipline in particular, and he also frequently practices several disciplines of free fall: Relative Flight / Free Fly, as well as video jumps, or jumps with hybrid wing . He also enjoys other free flight disciplines, paragliding and paramotoring, which according to him "provide totally different but all complementary sensations of flight."

Accuracy Landing

Accuracy Landing is practised with opened parachute, in individual or team contest. The aim is to touch down on a target whose center is 2 cm in diameter. Target can be a deep foam mattress or an air-filled landing pad. An electronic recording pad of 32 cm in diameter is set in the middle. It measures score in 1 cm increments up to 16 cm and displays result just after landing. First part of any competition take place over 8 rounds. Then in the individual competition, after this 8 selective rounds, the top 25% jump a semi-final round. After semi-final round the top 50% (from the semi final round) are selected for the final round. Competitor with the lowest cumulative score is declared the winner. Competitors jump in teams of 5 maximum, exiting the aircraft at 1000 or 1200 meters and opening their parachutes sequentially to allow each competitor a clear approach to the target. This Sport is pretty unpredictable because Weather Conditions play a very important part. So Accuracy Landing requires high adaptability to aerology and excellent steering control. It's also the most interesting discipline for spectator due to the closeness of action (a few meters) and the possibility to be practiced everywhere (sport ground, stadium, urban place...). Today, Accuracy Landing is the most practiced (in competition) discipline of skydiving in the world. ----


Style

Style can be considered as sprint of parachuting. This individual discipline is played in free fall. The idea is to get maximum speed and complete a pre-designated series of manoeuvres as fast and cleanly as possible (speed can exceed 400 km/h / 250 mph) Jumps are filmed using a ground-based camera (with an exceptional lens to record the performance). Performance is timed (from the start of the manoeuvre until its completion) and then judged in public at the end of the jump. Competition includes 4 qualifying rounds and a final for the top 8. Competitors jump from a height of 2200 m to 2500 m. They rush into an acceleration stage for 15 to 20 seconds, and then, run their series of acrobatics benefiting to the maximum of the speed. Those series consist of Turns and Back-Loops to achieve in a pre-designated order. Incorrect performance of the manoeuvres gives rise to penalties that are added at runtime. The performance of the athlete is defined in seconds and hundredths of a second. Competitor with the lowest cumulative time is declared the winner. Notice the complete sequence is performed by leading international experts in just over 6 seconds, penalties included.
