Did you know that Aethers and Nephtys combine for a French 4-way Sweep?
posted: Oct 27th, 2026 Nephtys Maubeuge, France’s national team in 4-way Women, won their event at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 with a larger margin than any team in the other formation skydiving events. They finished 43 points ahead of runners-up Ranch TNT SDAZ. In 4-way Open, Aethers Lille claimed victory by seven points over the Golden Knights and NMP PCH Haya Busa, while Paraclete XP8 won the 8-way event by ten points over Qatar Falcons. The NSL News noted in its event previews that the 4-way Women competition was not expected to be particularly close, and all four teams ultimately finished with comfortable... (more)

Did you know that Paraclete XP8 takes the 8-way Excalibur sword back to Raeford?
posted: Oct 26th, 2026 Although the 8-way competition at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 once again matched the lowest number of participating teams (five) in Formation Skydiving history since 1985, the same number as previously recorded in 2010, 2022 and 2024, the competition proved more interesting than at previous events. The final standings after Round 10 were identical to those at the previous two outdoor world championships: the U.S. team claimed gold for the eighth consecutive time, the Qatar Falcons finished second, and Germany took third place. The 8-way competition used to be much closer when the... (more)

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)
