Did you know that it takes a 27+ average to make the Top 10 at Weembi Lille? posted: Apr 9th, 2026 The first two rounds in the horizontal 4-way events have been completed at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026 in Weembi Lille. The competition has already proven to be as exciting as expected in both categories—except, perhaps, for the very top position. The Aethers are fully living up to the high expectations of spectators, opponents, coaches, and experts alike. The French national team won both opening rounds with the highest scores and has already established a four-point lead over the Golden Knights.
The anticipated duel between China and Nephtys in 4-way Women has delivered a compelling start,... (more)
Did you know that Rounds 1 and 2 at Weembi are scheduled for Thursday afternoon? posted: Apr 8th, 2026 Wednesday, March 8th, marks the final day before Round 1 at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026. The four NSL News leaderboards are now set for the final stage ahead of the first competition scores, and the speculative predictions in the NSL Power Rankings were reviewed one last time by NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet.
His team spent Wednesday at Weembi Lille, where the Belgian lineup completed a total of one hour of flight time following their arrival. This Indoor World Cup will be the first opportunity for the current lineup to compete in Weembi’s 16-foot wind tunnel. During NSL Live... (more)
Did you know that Havoc enjoyed the favorable weather on Australia’s east coast? posted: Apr 7th, 2026 Alongside South Africa, Australia is one of the well-established nations in formation skydiving that must adapt to the reversed seasonal schedule of the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres. In fact, Australia has missed only two outdoor world championships in 4-way Open since 1985, as illustrated in the NSL News update on April 6th.
Australia also hosted the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2018 on the Gold Coast near Brisbane, a location many participants still remember for its spectacular scenery. The country’s east coast features many similarly scenic areas, and this year’s national outdoor... (more)
Did you know that D'Arc8 won the latest duel with Nova ahead of the World Cup? posted: Apr 6th, 2026 The Weembi FS Cup 2026 also featured an 8-way competition, which turned out to be the final test for two of the three French 8-way teams registered for the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026. The NSL News first covered D'Arc8 and Nova after the completion of the Weembinamic 2025, one year after their debut at the same event in 2024, where Martial Ferre’s D'Arc8 competed under a different name.
Their internal French rivalry continued at the Weembi FS Cup 2025, and both teams returned for the subsequent Weembinamic event later that year, where they faced the Paraclete XP8 lineup of 2025. Nova edged XP8... (more)
Did you know that Savolo erased a 30-year-old South African 4-way record average? posted: Apr 6th, 2026 The scheduling and separation of major indoor and outdoor activities, including FAI/ISC events, are largely driven by formation skydiving training and competition cycles in the Western and Northern Hemispheres (America, Europe). However, the sport is equally active in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres (Australia, Africa), where teams face the added challenge of adapting to an opposite training and competition calendar.
Despite these difficulties—and often significant travel distances—teams from Australia and South Africa have remained consistent participants at world championships and... (more)
Did you know that the Ibens family connects Belgium and the Netherlands? posted: Apr 3rd, 2026 The NSL News provided comprehensive coverage of the Out Of The Blue (OOTB) performance at the BENELUX Indoor Championship 2026, with an update published on March 26th. In particular, the scores achieved by NMP PCH HayaBusa, OOTB, and Ayro were impressive enough to warrant special attention, even though the Super Sequence in Round 10 contributed to elevated results across the entire AAA Class leaderboard.
Unfortunately, the officially posted scores—not only for this event—had to be corrected afterward due to a timing issue in the judging process. The NSL News published revised scores for... (more)
