Did you know that Skydive Midwest NEXT members had an internal RRR Class competition? posted: Jul 20th, 2022 Two very small meets took place last weekend, and were not connected within the NSL Network to create a larger leaderboard. Sweden held the country's national 4-way championships at a different location, the skydiving center in Vargarda, after many years in Gryttjom.
The different location did not change the outcome, as Echochamber won their 5th consecutive national 4-way title since 2017. The team was formed in 2016 and won their first Swedish gold medals a year later. They attended their first world meet for Sweden in Australia 2018 and would have competed at the FAI Tanay Mondial in August... (more)

Did you know that Nice Odin Weembi had a very colorful lineup at the Weembi FS Cup? posted: Jul 18th, 2022 The NSL News coverage of the Weembi FS Cup 2022 at the end of April had The Monaco MAT Team as the main topic, even though the new lineup of the French national team in 4-way Women, the Nephtys, attended the same competition, their third indoor meet this year, and they took the 1st place.
The Nephtys had already transitioned to outdoor training and competition at the time of the Weembi FS Cup, and the lineup of the Mattoni Team alone was interesting enough for a complete NSL News update.
Neither Nephtys, nor Weembi Unicorns in 2nd place, and not even the Mattoni Team could match the most... (more)
