A wingsuit flier from South Africa won the first World Wingsuit Championship in Hunan province on Thursday.

South African Julian Boulle, won the championship with a result of 23.49 seconds after completing an obstacle course on Tianmen Mountain, a tourist attraction in Zhangjiajie city.

Wingsuit flying is the sport of flying through the air using a special jumpsuit, called a wingsuit, which adds surface area to the human body to enable the wearer to "fly".

The contest on Tianmen Mountain was the first of its kind and featured 15 athletes wearing wingsuits jumping off a cliff and then completing a 1.2-km-long obstacle course while flying, according to the World Wingsuit League, one of the organizers of the contest.

Boulle said he greatly enjoyed the contest and the chance to compete with top wingsuit fliers in the world.

Norwegian Espen Fadnes took second place with 23.55 seconds and Briton James Boole won the third place with 23.84 seconds.

After the contest, all the contestants performed a demonstration of their flying skills to visitors on Tianmen Mountain.

The original schedule for the competition was Oct 12 to 14 but it was postponed to Oct 17 and 18 because of cloud and rain in the region, which made flying dangerous.
