These two women are literally living life to its fullest. The first is a woman from Chicago, Dorothy Hoffner, who, at 104, has become the world's oldest skydiver. This actually marks the second time she went skydiving. The first was when she was at 100 years old, after which, she had commented that the next jump would be different, and it was as it is unofficially a record-setting one. Before Hoffner, the title of oldest skydiver belonged to Rut Linnéa Ingegärd Larsson at 103, which she had achieved in May 2022.
The other woman is Kim Emmons Knor, an 84-year-old native of Cadillac, Michigan who has been parachuting since she was 20 years old, has competed in international events for parachuting, and is now aiming to make 1,000 jumps. Currently, she is at 600 jumps, and once she accomplishes 1,000 jumps, she will earn her Gold Wings.
