Did you know that a different leaderboard can offer an early preview of the World Championship?
posted: May 4th, 2026 The NSL News covered the FAI European Championship—embedded in the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026—in an update published on April 26th. The full field of 26 teams in 4-way Open was reduced to 12 teams on the European leaderboard, where only the top-ranked team from each participating nation is included, based on the World Cup results. This same one-team-per-nation limitation can also be applied informally to all top teams from the 16 countries represented in the 4-way Open field. Using this filter effectively creates an early preview of the outdoor World Championship season, which typically begins... (more)

Did you know that the Swiss 4-way Women duel takes place no matter where?
posted: May 3rd, 2026 The initial NSL Power Rankings for the 4-way Women competition at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026 were compiled based on the first list of registered teams. NSL News reported on March 27th that the initial provisional entries for FAI/ISC events were due by January 25, followed by the final submission deadline on February 22. The most recent update to the NSL Power Rankings was published on April 8th, the day before Round 1 at Weembi Lille, incorporating the final feedback from Dennis Praet. The 4-way Women field had grown from 11 to 13 teams, with the U.S. delegation adding XP Angels and NFTO... (more)

Did you know that SSD Pajama Party start the 2026 outdoor season with promising scores?
posted: May 2nd, 2026 The outdoor competition season of the NSL 4-way Network traditionally begins with the Shamrock Showdown—this year held as the 1st Bob Hallett Memorial. Only the two currently strongest teams in the world, Aethers (FR) and Golden Knights (US), attended the memorial event at Skydive DeLand, despite the challenging schedule so soon after the completion of the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026. As in previous years, the Texas Skydiving League, led by TSL Director Scott Latinis, followed with its outdoor season opener last weekend at the Spaceland San Marcos Showdown. This year, however, the Texas teams... (more)

Did you know that the 4-way Women leaderboard delivered several surprises?
posted: May 1st, 2026 The final adjustments to the NSL Power Rankings for the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026 were made on the day before Rounds 1 and 2 were completed on April 8th. NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet also found time for a new NSL Live Talk on the last day before the competition, and his insights contributed to shaping the latest version of the preview leaderboards. These “speculative predictions” made before the start of the competition turned out to be very close to the final results after all ten rounds in 4-way Open and 8-way Open were completed. Input from both experts and the audience... (more)

Did you know that Kirk Verner has been keeping a close eye on the French 8-way teams?
posted: Apr 29th, 2026 The outcome of the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026—especially the double-gold success of the French 4-way Open team Aethers—continues to resonate throughout the formation skydiving community and remains a major topic in NSL News coverage following the event. The high-level 4-way duel between Aethers and the Golden Knights at the Shamrock Showdown 2026 - 1st Bob Hallett Memorial initially drew most of the attention after the Indoor World Cup. Only later did the NSL News return to analyze the competition at Weembi Lille in greater detail. While the outstanding performance of the French 4-way... (more)

Did you know that the Golden Knights attempted the first double-gold mission since 1985?
posted: Apr 28th, 2026 The recent French success at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026, where the 4-way Open team Aethers joined forces with the 4-way Women team Nephtys to also claim 8-way gold, prompted NSL News to revisit previous double-gold attempts. French national coach Mathieu Bernier remains the only competitor in history to achieve double gold in 4-way Open and 8-way at the same FAI World Championship, which he accomplished in Menzelinsk 2010. Jeana Billings matched the feat in the 4-way Women and 8-way categories at Crystal Coast 2024. NSL News also highlighted that the Aethers/Nephtys combination at Weembi... (more)
