Skydivers form a massive snowflake formation Friday
in Illinois. Three judges representing
the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the
international air sports agency, certified that 138
skydivers created the formation over Ottawa, about 80

three days for the team to break the previous record of
108 skydivers, which was set in 2009.

examination of his phobias, ranging from inoculations to cellphones to chimpanzees.

men's 100 meters final in the Athletics Grand Prix at the Crystal Palace in
London. All anyone's talking about ahead of the men's 100 meters is the showdown
