Did you know that the French Girls don't seem to listen very well to coach Mathieu Bernier? posted: Nov 17th, 2016 The race for the world's top spot in 4-way Women between the Golden Knights and the French national 4-way team has kept the Sun Path Products NSL News busy for many years. It began in 2011 when the Golden Knights entered this event for the first time at the FAI World Cup in Saarlouis, Germany, and finished in 4th place.

Did you know that the Bodyflight Revenge 2016 was a warm-up opportunity for the FAI Indoor World Cup? posted: Nov 16th, 2016 Two of the five British 4-way teams who competed at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2016 used the great opportunity to warm up for the event at this year's Bodyflight Revenge 2016.

In fact, the FAI dive pool for the Indoor World Cup is smaller, as Block 1 and Block 13 require too much space in a 14-foot chamber.
ACM and NFTO had both blocks in the Revenge competition draw, which was block-heavy with 21 of the... (more)
