Team Singapore Tops Medal Table at 2026 FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving with Six Medals

Competing against 105 athletes from 22 nations, the Singapore squad secured two gold, three silver, and one bronze medal, outperforming traditional European powerhouses such as France and Germany.

BOUC-BEL-AIR, France (4 April 2026) — Team Singapore delivered a historic performance at the FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving, finishing top of the overall medal standings with six medals across four disciplines at the competition hosted at iFLY Aix‑Marseille in Bouc-Bel-Air, France.

Competing against 105 athletes from 22 nations, the Singapore squad secured two gold, three silver, and one bronze medal, outperforming traditional European powerhouses such as France and Germany.

The results marked one of the most successful international campaigns for Singapore in indoor skydiving, with athletes contesting finals across Solo Freestyle, Solo Speed, 2-Way Dynamic, and 4-Way Dynamic disciplines.

Historic 1-2 Finish for Singapore in Solo Freestyle Open

The headline moment came in the Solo Freestyle Open, where Singapore secured a historic first and second place finish.

Kai Minejima‑Lee successfully defended his world cup title, winning gold, while teammate Kyra Poh captured silver in her return to world-level competition following a two-year injury absence.

The result marked the first time Singapore has occupied both top podium positions in an Open freestyle event at World Cup level.

Kai’s victory was also historic for the sport — the 17-year-old became the first athlete ever to defend the World Cup Freestyle Open title, having previously won the event at the 5th FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving in Macau in 2024.

“Exactly ten years ago I took my first flight with Kyra,” said Minejima-Lee. “Standing on the podium beside my teammate and mentor while representing Singapore is incredibly special.”

Singapore Quartet Wins 4-Way Dynamic Gold

Team Singapore also secured gold in the 4-Way Dynamic Open, with the quartet of:

Kyra Poh, Choo Yi Xuan, Vera Poh, Kai Minejima‑Lee

The team defeated Switzerland in the final, completing a comeback season for the combination that had been disrupted by injury in 2024.

The victory also followed Singapore’s triumph over the Swiss team at the FAI World Championships of Indoor Skydiving 2025, reinforcing Singapore’s emergence as a global powerhouse in dynamic flying.

Silver for Poh Sisters in Emotional 2-Way Dynamic Final

In the 2-Way Dynamic Open, sisters Kyra Poh and Vera Poh advanced to the final after defeating teammates Jordan Lee and Isabelle Koh in an all-Singapore semi-final.

They eventually claimed silver, finishing just behind France, the home favourites competing in front of their local crowd.

For the Poh sisters, the moment carried personal significance — fulfilling their late grandfather’s wish to see them compete together as a team.

Meanwhile, Jordan Lee and Isabelle Koh finished fourth overall, narrowly missing bronze after a strong performance against Germany in the bronze medal match.

Multiple Finals and Medals Across Disciplines

Singapore’s strength across disciplines was further highlighted in Solo Speed, where Choo Yi Xuan won silver and Kai Minejima-Lee added a bronze medal.

Yi Xuan’s result was particularly notable as she competed in two finals on the same day, securing both gold in 4-Way Dynamic and silver in Solo Speed.

A Decade of Investment Paying Off

According to Lawrence Koh, Founder and CEO of AltitudeX, the results reflect years of systematic investment in Singapore’s indoor skydiving programme.

“What we witnessed goes far beyond medals — it reflects a decade of belief, discipline, and development of an entire system. We are now seeing a new generation rise alongside pioneers like Kyra and Yi Xuan.”

What’s Next for Singapore Indoor Skydiving

Following the World Cup success, Team Singapore will next compete at the FAI Asian Indoor Skydiving Championships, where the team will aim to continue its strong international momentum.

The long-term vision for the sport also includes the potential inclusion of indoor skydiving at the Southeast Asian Games 2029, a development that could significantly elevate the sport’s profile across the region.

With a young roster of world-class athletes and a proven development system, Singapore’s dominance at the 2026 World Cup signals the rise of a new global powerhouse in competitive indoor skydiving. #TeamSingapore #IndoorSkydiving
