Did you know that the 8-way teams prepare in different ways for the battle?
posted: Jul 29th, 2010 Last weekend's leaderboard was replaced with a new one sooner than usual. The reason is obvious, as the currently listed teams are the ones that will compete at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk, Russia. It's an effort to introduce the field to the audience early enough. The previous leaderboard has neither been removed nor have the teams been forgotten. In fact, new scores from the Virginia Parachute Council have just been added. There is also one team that is on both leaderboards. Denmark's national team Bodyflight Voluntas attended the national championships... (more)

Did you know that UK 4-way team Satori can't wait to get to Russia?
posted: Jul 28th, 2010 The NSL News mentioned earlier today that a Satori update would follow very soon. The UK national team in the Open Class arrived a day after Team Bodyflight made it to Russia coming from the United Kingdom. The UK delegation is now complete. Team Bodyflight's reigning and defending 4-way world champion in the female 4-way category, Sarah Smith-Cannon, brought the IPC Trophy for this category in her luggage and allowed the NSL News to take a look at it upon arrival at the airport. She also brought up the question where the Fun Flag is recently hidden, and it is about time to investigate this... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News updates are now coming directly from Menzelinsk?
posted: Jul 28th, 2010 There are a few corrections concerning the previously introduced teams at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. NMP-PCH Hayabusa has a new alternate. Luc Verstrepen has stepped back, and Dennis Praet is the new official alternate for Hayabusa. He is one of the two young Belgians who competed with Team X under Luc Verstrepen's and Joey Jones' guidance at the World Challenge 2010. Also, the NSL News can follow up with the South African lineup. It is almost identical with the one of the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge, France. The team name has changed to Voodoo, and the same lineup... (more)

Did you know that there is no definition of an amateur team?
posted: Jul 26th, 2010 Arizona Airspeed has arrived at Menzelinsk in Russia, and NMP-PCH Hayabusa made the transition from the CISM Championships in Switzerland to the event site of the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 successfully, as well. The NSL News has another video of the Belgian 4-time military world champions from the recent competition. This time, the video features Round 1 where Hayabusa scored 36 points, the second highest score of the competition. Hayabusa had planned to improve the team's 8-round record average of 33.0 and score higher than 30 points in each round. The Belgians actually... (more)

Did you know that the top of the leaderboard will probably be tighter than ever?
posted: Jul 26th, 2010 The NSL News story on 24 July 2010 provided an overview of the 8-way and female 4-way competition at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. This year, only the three powerhouses of Formation Skydiving competition, USA, France and Russia, have sent teams in all three categories to the event. It is time now to switch back to the most popular event of the world meet, the Open Class competition in 4-way. FS teams from 21 nations will be competing in Menzelinsk, Russia, beginning this upcoming Sunday. 20 national teams compete in the 4-way Open Class. Brazil is the 21st nation and has... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News had to ask Michel Lemay one question?
posted: Jul 25th, 2010 Nothing changed for Hayabusa NMP-PCH after Round 6 at the CISM Championship 2010. The NSL News had provided an update from the military world championships on 22 July 2010. No more rounds were completed in Switzerland, and Hayabusa is now on the way to Menzelinsk in Russia and the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. The Belgian team was not the only one that still had another national obligation last week. Bodyflight Voluntas, the Danish national 4-way team, competed at the national championships before the trip to Russia. The scores are posted, and Voluntas won this year's national... (more)
