Curling… in the clouds?⁣
⁣
Extreme athletes performed biathlon and curling at 1,700 meters above central Russia — on a platform attached to a hot air balloon in minus 20°C.⁣
⁣
The project combined winter Olympic sports with skydiving and ballooning, creating a record-setting spectacle in the sky.⁣
⁣
Brazilian athlete Carol Chafauzer said sport continues to connect people across countries — even at breathtaking heights.⁣
