CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- As the first battle of the 2018 Jindaoxia Canyoning Competition, International Canyoning Elite Competition has been initiated in Jindaoxia, with more than 100 outdoor enthusiasts from 26 teams at home and abroad.

Canyoning is an outdoor leisure sport, by jumping down with the rope or sliding down along the water from the main body of a waterfall. And it is a combination of sports, tourism, leisure and athletics. It’s named as "the game of the brave" because it’s dangerous and difficult to carry on in a river or canyon with a certain drop.

For these, the organizing committee provided a series of professional facilities for players, such as monitoring physical and foot rings. It also takes a strict qualification examination for all the registrated teams, and 26 professional teams have passed the examination, including some international elite teams from France and Morocco.

During the competition, each team has showed their excellent outdoor skills as possible as they can. After a fierce competition, the Beijing Kusai Team consisted of players from Beijing and Guizhou , Guizhou Tuolushi from Guizhou and Pengshui Jipiao from Pengshui, Chongqing have gained the first, second and third position with 36’36’’, 38’18’’ and 39’45’’ respectively.
