Did You Know...

... that Russia sends a strong delegation to the World Cup in Teuge?

Bronze medals in 2009: Russia's 8-way lineup at the World Cup
posted Jul 13th, 2015 - The Formation Skydiving delegation from Russia in the three traditional categories (4-way Open, 4-way Women, 8-way Open) at the FAI World Cups consisted of five teams in 2009 and 2011, even though there were different combinations.

Four Russian teams competed in 4-way Open at the World Cup 2009 in Prostejov, together with one 8-way team, while there was no Russian participation in 4-way Women.

Two years later in Germany, Russia had at least one team in each of the three categories (2-1-2). Then the Russian delegation became even larger in Banja Luka in 2013 (3-1-3).

This year's Russian delegation for the World Cup in Teuge is the second largest one since 2009, as six teams are planning their trip to the Netherlands in September (4-1-1).

Silver medals in 2011: Illusions
The FAI/IPC rules allow countries to send four teams for each of the three categories to a World Cup.

It will be the first time since 2009 that Russia uses the maximum number of teams in 4-way Open. The Russian Formation Skydiving delegation will once again be one of the largest in Teuge.

The Formation Skydiving powerhouse is also always good for medal positions in all categories.

The three different delegations of 2009, 2011 and 2013 collected a total of five sets of medals in the same three events. Russia's 8-way teams won bronze medals in 2009 and 2011, plus silver in 2013.

Illusions added silver medals in 4-way Women in 2011 and Barkli more silver in 2013.

Silver medals in 2013: Barkli
Russia's best 4-way team at this year's World Cup has good chances of adding the next set of medals to the World Cup collection. Black Cat has the potential to finish with averages between 20+ and 23+, depending on the team's lineup for the meet.

The World Cup 2009 in Prostejov had featured an internal Russian 4-way battle between Black Cat and Barkli, which ended with a 2-point advantage for Black Cat.

Four 2009 members (Vasily Korotkov, Evgeni Stachenko, Alexander Kvochur, Vadim Niyzov on camera), are still in the current lineup.

The XOteam will compete for the first time at a World Cup after posting scores at the Russian Nationals over the years and at the Polish Indoor Open 2014.

Barguzin, with former Barkli members Vladimir Pavlenko and Sergey Shenin, and Tanay Wolves complete the Russian delegation in 4-way Open

Tanay 8-way lineup for the World Cup 2015
Infra Red Band will compete for Russia in 4-way Women. The team was formed in 2013 and placed 5th at the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014.

Evgenia Korzhova, Zhanna Kazakova, Svetlana Bubnova, Elena Mazaeva are in the 2015 lineup, with Alexey Yutkin on camera.

Tanay's 8-way team will probably only be able to compete for the bronze medals in Teuge.

The new French 8-way lineup for 2016 and the Golden Knights will both compete at the World Cup, which moves gold and silver medals out of reach for all other 8-way teams.

However, the Sun Path Products NSL News story on April 28th introduced the new and strong Tanay lineup.

The expected 18-average scoring level should win the bronze medals - unless there is a surprise coming from the Belgian dark horse, Thund8rbirds...
