The 1st International Skydiving 16-way Double-Event is#nbsp;the first ever hybrid skydiving event organized under the auspices of#nbsp;EASA (Eurasian Skydiving Association).
The event will be#nbsp;held in#nbsp;Abu Dhabi and Dubai from January 15th to#nbsp;28th. 16-way teams from 5 countries will take part in#nbsp;the competition: the Republic of#nbsp;Belarus, the Republic of#nbsp;Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, the United Arab Emirates, the United States of#nbsp;America (the USA participates only in#nbsp;the windtunnel part of#nbsp;the competition).
