News Article Did you know that Dennis Praet was available for NSL Live Talk at a critical time?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2026 It is unusual for the top contenders at major FAI/ISC indoor and outdoor events to spend extra time with the media while the competition is still running. For the NSL News, recording an engaging conversation with the sport’s role models is even more challenging. NSL Live Talk typically requires more time to gather insider information and provide comprehensive explanations of the details and secrets of 4-way and 8-way competition than short clips featuring brief answers to quick questions. Neither NMP PCH HayaBusa team captain Dennis Praet nor the NSL News could recall a competition at which... (more)
News Article Did you know that Airbus Illertissen leads the amateur race by the same six points?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2026 The NSL Live Talk conversation with the Mack family of Airbus 4-way Illertissen took place on Tuesday, following the completion of Round 6. At that point, Airbus held a two-point lead over Sweden’s Echochamber, illustrating just how tight the race between the two teams was. The pair had also opened up a gap of several points over their other direct rivals. Two rounds and a full day later, the same two teams had extended their advantage over the next team in line by another point, while the teams behind them remained just as closely matched as before. However, significant changes had taken... (more)
News Article Did you know that five French 4-way competitors are six points away from their first gold?
posted: Oct 21st, 2026 Both days of 4-way Open Class competition featured a round in which point deductions rained down on teams from the judging room. This penalty storm struck first on Tuesday, with 24 deductions recorded in Round 3, and returned on Wednesday with another 24 in Round 8. The penalties affected not only the world’s top 4-way teams but also the entire 4-way Open Class field. Only two of the 13 teams escaped the penalty storm in Round 3: Qatar Vortex and MeXtreme. In Round 8, three teams avoided this negative competition experience: Golden Knights, Flyspot Sky4four, and Random Fixation. Amnesya Fly... (more)
News Article Did you know that three Operation Adler members keep a close eye on Airbus Illertissen?
posted: Oct 21st, 2026 The Formation Skydiving competition teams were on a weather hold in all three events on Wednesday morning. The 8-way teams were scheduled to jump Round 8 before the 4-way teams were due to be called into action at noon. However, all teams have now been released until later this morning. The 8-way teams had wrapped up their competition day on Tuesday, putting them one round ahead of the 4-way teams. The German Mack family (Outside Center Thomas, Point Tim, and team videographer Moritz) is competing only in 4-way, while their teammates Felix Pfeiffer and Alexander Prendinger are also members of...

News Article Did you know that Clementine Le Bohec and Jeana Billings have secured the top positions?
posted: Oct 20th, 2026 The 4-way teams completed three more rounds today, adding to the three rounds flown on the opening day yesterday. Little has changed at the top of the leaderboard, except that the competition has returned to a situation in which France’s Aethers Lille are once again considered the leading contenders in 4-way Open. Just over a month ago, Aethers Lille were still regarded as the strongest 4-way team in the world, as reflected in the NSL Power Rankings published on September 7th. However, the rankings were adjusted on October 14th, when it became clear that Mathieu Quizy would not occupy the... (more)
News Article Did you know that Gary Smith has a very busy schedule in Eloy?
posted: Oct 20th, 2026 Coach Gary Smith has been putting in long working days at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. One of the most respected coaches in formation skydiving, he has returned to the broader coaching environment after an extended period working exclusively with Qatar’s delegation, where he was responsible for developing the country’s 4-way teams. Gary Smith and Jérémie Rollett initially worked together with Qatar’s delegation, with Gary Smith focusing on the 8-way team and Jeremie Rollett coaching the 4-way teams. They eventually switched assignments. Jeremie Rollett continues to work with... (more)
