posted Sep 14th, 2016 - Wednesday at the Mondial 2016 begins with more eye candy for the 8-way fans.

One of yesterday's updates included the first seven rounds of the Golden Knights. The Sun Path Products NSL News now follows up with the French 8-way videos of all eight rounds that have been completed so far.

It's a very difficult situation for the French 8-way world champions of earlier years, as it is impossible for any 8-way team in the world to keep up with the Golden Knights. The videos are showing the French world class 8-way performance, which is getting even better round by round. However, there were not enough time and resources for the team to get into gold medal shape quickly enough after the team was "thrown together" with an emergency call last year.

The Russian national 8-way team Tanay now has to accept the power of the French comeback round by round. After a slow start, France has caught up and begins to move further away from Tanay, while the Golden Knights are still completely out of reach.

Russia's Barkli lineup had managed to outscore a completely different French lineup two years ago in Prostejov. Tanay now performs on a significantly higher level at the Mondial 2016 but has to deal with a much stronger French 8-way lineup.

The 8-way silver medals will most likely go back to France, and Russia has to settle for the bronze medals. It is exactly the same outcome as it was at the Mondial Dubai 2012...
