Did you know that Elena Vertiprakhova won the first Open Class gold medal in 2003?
posted: May 7th, 2010 The NSL News has to go back to the story on 4 May 2010, which covered Arizona Airspeed's Eliana Rodriguez' competition career between 1999 and 2010, including a video with several competition jumps of the earlier days. The story mentioned that Eliana Rodriguez was the first female 8-way world champion. A message from an attentive visitor brought to the NSL News attention that this is not really correct. According to the rules, and also very practically, the team videographer is a team member and receives the same honors and medals as the competitors that the videographer focuses on. There... (more)

Did you know that Team Bodyflight was closer to Aerokart Deep Blue than the leaderboard shows?
posted: May 6th, 2010 The NSL News now goes back to the third and youngest category of IPC Formation Skydiving competition, the female 4-way event. The story on 23 March 2010 had covered the situation in this category after the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010. The US national team Spaceland Blue, silver medalist of the World Meet 2008 in France, and the French bronze medalist of 2008, Aerokart Deep Blue, competed directly with each other in DeLand in March. France won this duel with a 20.1 average, Spaceland Blue finished with a 16.7 average. It was the start of the 2010 season for the US Blue with a new lineup, while... (more)

Did you know that the new NSL-TV video features Eliana Rodriguez between 1999 and 2010?
posted: May 5th, 2010 The NSL News story on 28 April 2010 was actually supposed to cover the 2010 season opener of the Georgia Skydiving League. It turned out that the NSL News eventually went much further back in the GSL history and found old videos of the Florida Skydiving League 1999 season. There are many videos that catch the NSL News attention during a trip into the NSL-TV archives. This time, the team name "Illusions" deserved a memory note for the NSL News. There was a team member of the all-female lineup who is still a very active competitor, Eliana Rodriguez, now reigning 4-way world champion with... (more)

Did you know that Russia's new 8-way team posted its first 2010 scores?
posted: May 4th, 2010 The NSL News reported on 30 November 2009 that Russia had a new world class 8-way lineup in the works. The story on 5 December 2009 confirmed the 8-way news from Russia and introduced the lineup. A preview of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2010 on 15 March 2010 provided a 4-way update from Russia but also included a paragraph with 8-way news. Michail Kuznetsov had left the 8-way lineup to focus only on 4-way with his Sky Panthers. Then came the 8-way competition of the Shamrock Showdown, and all the attention shifted to the Golden Knights and the US team's first and only 8-way competition before... (more)

Did you know that the 4-way competition in Russia is heating up?
posted: May 3rd, 2010 The first scores from Russia's competition in Kolomna last weekend were already posted on Saturday. It took a little bit longer until the leaderboatd could be completed. Some vodka was flowing in Kolomna after the competition and delayed the flowing of information eventually... However, the leaderboard is complete now, and additional information is available, too. It was a tough meet for Kaktus Hunter, the only Russian team that had also competed at the World Challenge 2010. Kaktus Hunter lost a total of 12 points in the judging room and had to accept that the experienced Ocean of Bees lineup... (more)

Did you know that Finland's Pro Team may join another battle in Russia?
posted: May 3rd, 2010 The NSL News has covered the unofficial "Scandinavian Championship" on a regular basis in the past years. The Pro Team won this unofficial title for Finland the first time in 2009. Indoor and outdoor meets were both considered to find the best Scandinavian team of the year. The Pro Team confirmed the unofficial Scandinavian championship title at the World Cup 2009 when Finland was the only country that was represented by a Scandinavian team in the final round of the competition. Norway (Nexus) and Sweden (Evolution) both had their national teams in Prostejov, as well. Denmark's national... (more)
