Wingsuit competition - level 2

The second year of “The Red Bull Aces” wingsuit competition happened. At this competition, 40 competitors flew 2.3 kilometers above ground level. With speeds of up to 257 kilometers per hour, this sport wasn’t for everyone.
Competitors had to weave through a slalom course of 34-meter-tall pylons which hung from helicopters.
An American competitor defended his title from last year’s competition.
Difficult words: competitor (a person who is taking part in a competition), weave (to move through), slalom course (a way with many bends which you must go through), pylon (a tall, skinny object which supports things or shows you a way).
