Skydivers Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel swooped to a world-first and became the first people to wingsuit fly through London’s iconic Tower Bridge. The Austrian duo reached a top speed of 246 km/h in their dive over the River Thames before performing a complex aerial maneuver known as a ‘flare’ to fly upwards again in close proximity to Tower Bridge and safely open their parachutes. It was a wingsuit flight that pushed the boundaries of human aviation and was only made possible due to the incredible teamwork and collaboration between the athletes.

In the next episode of this series, go behind the scenes with the two athletes as they revealed how they made it happen.
