News Article Did you know that Dubai Asaar's 8way lineup made it to the final round?
posted: Dec 6th, 2012 Only one round of 8way competition is left to complete the whole Mondial Dubai 2012 easily in time. It was originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon to follow Round 9. It got too late, as the desert dinner was coming up, and the last round of the meet was postponed until this morning. Chances are little that anything will change on the top of the leaderboard. However, there is a big goal on stake. The Golden Knights have the golden opportunity to make history with an average over 22.4. The US Army team needs a 19-pointer to finish with a 22.5 average and erase the highest average of 22.4... (more)
News Article Did you know that Arizona Airspeed's current lineup is still undefeated in an outdoor competition?
posted: Dec 5th, 2012 It was actually time for an 8way update at the Mondial Dubai 2012. However, there is more time now to catch up with the last event of Formation Skydiving competition, as the event management decided to stop today's event action after Round 9. A quick 8way update and a look at the leaderboard shows that the Brit Chicks missed the cut for the finals with a 6-pointer in Round 9. Three more points would have been enough to make it. The 6th slot for the finals will now be shared between Dubai Asaar's 8way team and M8Trix. The home team made it in the very last minute with a strong Round 9. That's... (more)
News Article Did you know that 4way tears of joy and disappointment at the Mondial Dubai 2012?
posted: Dec 5th, 2012 It's time for a video update in the female 4way category at the Mondial Dubai 2012. It is "only" Round 6 of the Top 6 teams, and the NSL News audience needs patience to get to the last jumps of the competition. InTime's Calire King and Dirk Venter are doing their best to provide the meet videos for the online audience. However, today's two 4way events are over, and there was drama to the very last grip of the competition, literally. Arizona Airspeed is the new 4way world champion in the Open Class and benefitted from a penalty for an incomplete formation at the 26th scoring formation in working... (more)
News Article Did you know that it's time for the semifinals in Dubai?
posted: Dec 5th, 2012 Yesterday's final update from the Mondial 2012 did not include the insights that NSL News anchor Joey Jones provides on a regular basis. He catches up in today's Good Morning From Dubai show. The video clip was recorded when the Top 10 teams in the female 4way category were called to the boarding area. The first cut took place after Round 8, and only the best ten teams in each category are doing Round 9. Joey Jones knows NMP-PCH Hayabusa very well after his years coaching the Belgian team. He lives in Bedford now and works mostly with the Swedish teams. His wife Lena is from the Scandinavian... (more)
News Article Did you know that Dubai's Crown Prince played volleyball with other skydivers today?
posted: Dec 4th, 2012 Protecting the lead was successful for the Golden Knights in 8way today. It did not work so well for the other two teams of the US delegation, Arizona Airspeed and the female lineup of the Golden Knights. Arizona Airspeed at least managed to still share the lead with NMP-PCH Hayabusa after today's two rounds. The Belgians were in attack mode and went already a point faster than Airspeed in Round 7. Only a 1-point deduction made it a tie in this round. Then the Belgian team even added a few knots to the pace and performed almost like the French team in Round 10 at the World Meet 2010 in Menzelinsk.... (more)
News Article Did you know that the Golden Knights protected their 4-point lead successfully today?
posted: Dec 4th, 2012 France did win the gold medals in VFS 4way with another highscore in the 8th and last round. It was an impressive turnaround since Team4speed was six points behind after Round 2. The comeback began in Round 3 and lasted all the way through the 8-round meet. The NSL Reality TV camera was with the team when the final round was shown on the large screen at the dropzone and captured a very happy French delegation. The celebration began as soon as the winning number of points was shown on the screen before the working time was over. It was the sixth 4way gold medal for coach Philippe Schorno.... (more)
