The '''WindGames''' (formerly '''The Wind Games''') are annual [indoor skydiving](/source/Bodyflight) competitions hosted by [Windoor](/source/Windoor), an operator of [vertical wind tunnels](/source/Vertical_wind_tunnel).
== History ==
The first WindGames event took place in 2014 at Windoor's indoor skydiving facility in [Empuriabrava](/source/Empuriabrava), Spain, where every event has been held since. The WindGames includes Vertical Formation Skydiving, 4-way Formation Skydiving, 2-way Dynamic, 4-way Dynamic, Solo Speed, Freestyle and Freestyle Junior.[{{Cite web |date= 27 June 2024|title=The WindGames |url=https://www.windoor-realfly.com/en/windgames/ |access-date=10 October 2025 |website=Windoor Realfly}}]
In January 2016, The WindGames became the first major international competition to mandate a routine performed to music in their first [Freestyle event](/source/Indoor_freestyle_skydiving).[{{cite web |title=The musical rounds at the 3rd edition of the Wind Games catapulted tunnel flying into the public eye. |url=https://www.skydivemag.com/new/2016-01-28-the-big-bang/ |website=SkydiveMag |date=28 January 2016 }}] This integration of music is credited with transforming the discipline; within 36 hours, the performances from the event went viral, bringing the sport to a mainstream audience for the first time.[{{cite news |last=Dawn |first=Randee |title=Wind Games winner will blow you away with astounding aerial dance moves |url=http://www.today.com/news/wind-games-winner-will-blow-you-away-astounding-aerial-dance-t69111 |work=[Today](/source/Today_(U.S._TV_program)) |date=26 January 2016}}][{{cite news |title=Maja Kuczynska: mucho más que un fenómeno viral |url=https://www.mundodeportivo.com/ocio/20160622/402684038898/maja-kuczynska-video-facebook-wind-games-2016-empuriabrava-windoor-wave-club.html |access-date=15 January 2026 |agency=Mundo Deportivo}}] The format's impact continued in subsequent years, as a new generation of flyers achieved similar viral success and maintained the sport's visibility in the public eye.[Henrik Brandt, [http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/weird-news/wind-games-indoor-skydiver-goes-9767962 "Wind Games: Indoor skydiver goes viral with incredible freestyle routine"], ''[Daily Record](/source/Daily_Record_(Scotland))'', 6 February 2017 (video).][James Dator, [https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017/2/7/14538810/wind-games-sport-windtunnel-video "Wind Games is the dopest, most beautiful sport you probably haven't heard of"], ''[SB Nation](/source/SB_Nation)'', 7 February 2017.]
After an extended pause in events due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic), The WindGames resumed in 2024.[{{Cite web |last=Santos |first=Paulinha |date=19 September 2023 |title=The Return of the Wind Games! |url=https://www.skydivemag.com/new/the-return-of-the-wind-games/ |access-date=11 October 2025 |website=skydivemag.com}}]
