Les compétitions de parachutisme se divisent en 3 épreuves principales. En «précision d'atterrissage», le parachutiste vise le centre d'une cible située dans une «zone de saut». La «voltige» consiste à exécuter une série de figures imposées. Enfin, le «vol relatif» ou «travail relatif» est une épreuve par équipes dans laquelle 4 ou 8 concurrents effectuent une série de manœuvres en chute libre. Les championnats du monde comportent les 3 épreuves; les hommes et les femmes y prennent part séparément.

A market where there is freedom of entry and exit is costless. Potential entrants can enter such markets whenever profits exceed the normal rate. 2, record 5, English, - contestable%20market
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A contestable market is one into which entry is abs olutely free, and exit is absolutely costless. We use "freedom of entry" in Stigler's sense, not to mean that it is costless or easy, but that the entrant suffers no disadvantage in terms of production technique or perceived product quality relative to the incumbent, and that potential entrants find it appropriate to evaluate the profitability of entry in terms of the incumbent firms’ pre-entry prices. In short, it is a requirement of contestability that there be no cost discrimination against entrants. Absolute freedom of exit, to us, is one way to guarantee freedom of entry. By this we mean that any firm can leave without impediment, and in the process of departure can recoup any costs incurred in the entry process. 3, record 5, English, - contestable%20market
