“It was wonderful to do it, I’ve thought about it for a long time,” Rut Larsson told Swedish news agency TT after her successful jump on Sunday. Watched by friends, family and a Guinness representative, Larsson made a perfect landing alongside skydiver Joackim Johansson at the Motala Municipality Airfield. When she got up, however, she needed help from helpers and then her walker.
When asked what she saw on her flight and how she felt, she answered honestly: “I can’t see very well now, but it felt good.” She really liked the slow descent.
Larsson is 103 years and 259 days old. She breaks the previous record by exactly 78 days. According to her own statements, she wanted to celebrate her success with “a small cake”.
