“The entire sport skydiving community mourns the loss of a talented young man with such a warm smile. Our condolences go to his family, loved ones, teammates, and all French national teams. May the memory of this exceptional skydiver fill our hearts as skydivers.”
Wolnik had recently shared a video training in a wind tunnel with fellow athletes, captioned: “Nothing beats winter four-way training at home.” His passion for the sport was evident until the very end.
The Fédération Française de Parachutisme also honored him on Instagram:
“A videographer with the French National Artistic Parachuting Team and two-time Freefly World Champion in 2022 and 2024, Pierre leaves behind the memory of a teammate whose presence will forever be etched in the hearts of his loved ones. Today, the entire sport parachuting community mourns and pays tribute to a young man renowned for his talent and exceptional character.”
Rest in peace, Pierre Wolnik — a fearless champion, a devoted teammate, and an inspiration to all who dream of flight.
