posted Nov 9th, 2026 - It was almost exactly four years ago that Poland's national 4-way Open Class team, Flyspot Sky4Four, competed in its last outdoor competition. The team had traveled to the same place, Skydive Arizona, for the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022, and returned four years later for the same event, last month.

The lineup representing Poland at both outdoor world championships was also almost identical. Anna Baranska, Joanna Hulboj, Zbigniew Kordzikowski and Michal Baranski competed together in 2022, with Remigiusz Wolak on camera. In Eloy last month, Anna Baranska, Joanna Hulboj and Zbigniew Kordzikowski were joined by Joanna Kozakowska, who replaced Michal Baranski, while Rafal Kochaniak was on camera.

Anna Baranska and Michal Baranski both left Sky4Four at the end of the 2023 season. Joanna Hulboj and Zbigniew Kordzikowski recruited Katarzyna Kowalczyk and Joanna Kozakowska for the new lineup, which competed exclusively at indoor events ever since. The team attended twelve indoor competitions between February 2024 and April 2026, finishing with a 21.2 average and tied for 14th place at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026.

Flyspot Sky4Four (PL) at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022

---

4-way Open Class teams from Poland had not participated in outdoor world championships between 2003 and 2021. Flyspot Sky4Four brought the country back onto the formation skydiving world stage almost 20 years later, first in 2022 and again in 2026.

Joanna Hulboj, Joanna Kozakowska and Zbigniew Kordzikowski decided to return to the same place where they had competed at their previous outdoor world championship. They brought former team member and outdoor competitor Anna Baranska back into the lineup, replacing indoor competitor Katarzyna Kowalczyk. Only Joanna Kozakowska and the new team videographer, Rafal Kochaniak, were making their first appearances at an outdoor world championship.

The Sky4Four lineup in Eloy last month faced tough competition. The 2022 lineup had secured 13th place by eight points over HF Flying Cirkus (149–141), while the 2026 team found itself in a close two-point battle with Australia's 4-way Open Class team Random Fixation. The two teams exchanged highscores from round to round, and Sky4Four eventually finished two points ahead (125–123), thanks to a cleaner performance and fewer point deductions (8–12). In fact, the judges penalized the Polish team for infringements only in the first three rounds and found no further violations in the remaining seven. Random Fixation, meanwhile, lost four additional points to deductions over those final rounds.

Flyspot Sky4Four (PL) - Random Fixation (AU) at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026

---

Flyspot Sky4Four's participation in the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 was the team's most important project this year. The different lineups have been a consistent presence at the regular meets of Poland's Flyspot Liga.

However, Sky4Four attended only the April meet this year, as the team was focused on planning and training for the outdoor world championship. This left the top of the leaderboard open to the other AAA Class teams competing in the Flyspot Liga from Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania. Sky4Four and Lithuania's Magic 4 have usually occupied the top positions in recent years.

With the outdoor season now over following the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026, Sky4Four will probably turn its attention back to indoor training and competition. The Flyspot Polish Open at Flyspot Katowice on November 12 is the next indoor event on the calendar. Skywalkers Most have won the competition in each of the past three years, with Magic 4 finishing in second place twice. Sky4Four last won the event in 2022 and did not attend last year. Both Skywalkers Most and Sky4Four competed at Skydive Arizona last month.
