Did you know that the French disaster turned into double 4-way gold on Friday?
posted: Oct 25th, 2026 It has been a challenging journey for French national coach Mathieu Bernier, from assembling the new generation of France’s 4-way Open Class national team, Aethers Lille, to reclaiming the William H. Ottley Sword, awarded to the FAI 4-way world champions and often referred to as the “4-way Excalibur.” Mathieu Bernier began building the Aethers Lille lineup in 2021, bringing Tom Mattoni and Mathieu Quizy into the team. Damien Gouriou and Alban Rumolo were already teammates in the previous lineup, alongside Aurélien Lemaire, Kevin Mansion and videographer David Ricard. The new combination... (more)

Did you know that the FAI/ISC tie-breaking rules were used for the first time?
posted: Oct 24th, 2026 Golden Knights and NMP PCH HayaBusa had faced each other four times earlier in the year before meeting again at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. Every duel had been a 4-way thriller, indoors or outdoors. However, they saved their best battle for last, which was only logical. Both teams wanted to be in peak form for the most important event in the sport. In Eloy, the two teams went head-to-head from the moment they finished Round 8 with identical cumulative scores. In fact, they had already been tied after Round 6, moved apart in Round 7 and came back together in Round 8. They then matched... (more)

Did you know that there was more than enough 4-way Open Class drama in Eloy?
posted: Oct 24th, 2026 The 4-way Open Class competition more than made up for the lack of exciting battles in the other two Formation Skydiving events, delivering plenty of drama for both spectators and competitors. The NSL News had covered the situation after Round 8 in updates on Thursday, highlighting the strong position of Germany's Airbus Illertissen and featuring an NSL Live Talk with NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet. The weather refused to cooperate on Thursday, keeping all teams grounded. Friday, however, brought perfect conditions, allowing competition to resume smoothly across all events. In fact,... (more)

Did you know that Kirk Verner and Matt Davidson move to the top of the FAI gold medal standings?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2026 The final day of the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 began with the 8-way competition. The final two rounds were scheduled to complete the meet, although no changes at the top of the leaderboard were realistically expected. The Qatar Falcons picked up the pace and actually won Friday’s 8-way competition by one point. However, it was too late to make a difference in the overall standings, as the 10-round competition had effectively been decided in the earlier rounds. The Falcons were already six points behind after Round 3 when they won their first round, edging Paraclete XP8 by one point.... (more)

Did you know that Dennis Praet was available for NSL Live Talk at a critical time?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2026 It is unusual for the top contenders at major FAI/ISC indoor and outdoor events to spend extra time with the media while the competition is still running. For the NSL News, recording an engaging conversation with the sport’s role models is even more challenging. NSL Live Talk typically requires more time to gather insider information and provide comprehensive explanations of the details and secrets of 4-way and 8-way competition than short clips featuring brief answers to quick questions. Neither NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet nor the NSL News could recall a competition at which... (more)

Did you know that Airbus Illertissen leads the amateur race by the same six points?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2026 The NSL Live Talk conversation with the Mack family of Airbus 4-way Illertissen took place on Tuesday, following the completion of Round 6. At that point, Airbus held a two-point lead over Sweden’s Echochamber, illustrating just how tight the race between the two teams was. The pair had also opened up a gap of several points over their other direct rivals. Two rounds and a full day later, the same two teams had extended their advantage over the next team in line by another point, while the teams behind them remained just as closely matched as before. However, significant changes had taken... (more)
