Did you know that female 4-way competitors dominated the Top 6 positions in China? posted: May 1st, 2024 The NSL News aftermath of larger events includes traditionally the combined AAA Class leaderboard, where teams who use the same competition draw are ranked according only to their athletic performances and the meet averages for the same sequences. The recent FAI Indoor World Cup 2024 had officially separate leaderboards for the competition in 4-way Open and 4-way Women.

Did you know that NFTO could have won two sets of FAI silver medals? posted: Apr 27th, 2024 The FAI Indoor World Cup 2024 also included two other events, which were embedded with additional leaderboards. The participating teams applied the same competition draw for the ten rounds in all events, while they could win additional titles and medals on the top level of the embedded leaderboards of the European and Asian indoor championships.
Naturally, it was much easier for Asian teams to compete at the event in China, while it was a very long journey for any European and American teams. Only Europe and Asia have their separate indoor championships, and the Asiana indoor or outdoor championships... (more)

Niklas Hemlin still... (more)
