Did you know that Germany has three top contenders this year?
posted: May 7th, 2009 The last updates from Germany covered one of the new national challengers, Final Four, with the story on 22 February 2009, and recently the new lineup of the Chicas. The situation is different in Germany this year. There has not been a very strong competition for the top spot in 2007 and 2008. In fact, Germany has always had one team that dominated the national 4-way competition for a certain time period: Colibri in the early and mid 80s, Mobel Krugel in the late 80s and early 90s, Dadalus for the rest of the 90s until EADS took over in 2000. The original EADS lineup (Olaf Biedermann, Jens... (more)

Did you know that the national female lineups set up for the 2010 showdown?
posted: May 3rd, 2009 Spaceland Blue's recent move from hibernation into training action brings back memories of the World Meet 2008 in France where three of the team members left behind the French national team, Aerokart Deep Blue, and won the silver medals one single point behind the Bodyflight Storm world champions. Becky Brocato, Erin Murphy and Brianne Thompson, with Niklas Daniel on camera, surprised the French team with a very strong performance after a short training season and seriously challenged the Bodyflight Storm lineup of 2008. Alternate Christy Frikken had pushed the team to a new performance and... (more)
