Did you know that the double-gold dream did not come true in 1999?
posted: Jul 26th, 2024 Airspeed went out to make history and do what nobody else has ever done before - win the 4-way and the 8-way event at the same world championship. But it didn't happen. They finished short in 4-way and lost Excalibur to France. However, Airspeed still has the chance to win a gold medal in 8-way, even though Russia made up another point in Round 9. The current 4-point lead should still be enough to carry it home in 8-way. Winning both events was a big goal. Skydiving as a sport has become so professional that it meant taking a big chance trying to win both events. The rival teams were all pure... (more)

Did you know that three USPA medal contenders competed last weekend?
posted: Jul 25th, 2024 Six teams used last weekend's opportunity for competition practice before the USPA Nationals 2024, which begin with 4-way competition at the end of the second September week. Skydive Spaceland's Pre-Nationals was the second scheduled meet of the Texas Skydiving League this year. Teams from Texas had been ready to launch their 2024 season at the end of April, together with teams of the Florida Skydiving League at Skydive Sebastian. Unfortunately, TSL Director Scott Latinis reported from San Marcos by then that bad weather did not allow any competition rounds on the whole meet weekend. The weather... (more)

Did you know that Gary Smith and Jeremie Rollett have a common NSL Live Talk history?
posted: Jul 23rd, 2024 The NSL News recently covered the situation of one of the world's powerhouses in Formation Skydiving competition, the Qatar delegation. The comprehensive coverage of the CISM World Championship, which concluded with the NSL News update on July 18th, included Qatar's national team in 4-way Open, the Qatar Tigers, who won the bronze medals in Hungary. The Tigers will also try to defend their FAI bronze medals at the upcoming FAI Outdoor World Championships. The story on July 19th followed up with the travel agenda of the Qatar Lions and the Qatar Cheetahs, the two 4-way teams who train and compete... (more)

Did you know that the Qatar Falcons have their own improved travel agenda this year?
posted: Jul 22nd, 2024 The NSL News covered the travel agenda of the Qatar Lions and the Qatar Cheetahs with their coaches Gary Smith and Luc Verstrepen on July 19th. The two 4-way farm teams of the Qatar delegation usually travel together to training camps and competitions when they leave their country. The Qatar Formation Skydiving delegation actually has three different travel agendas. The national team in 4-way Open, Qatar Tigers, and their coach Andy Grauwels make their own plans that were mentioned in the previous 4-way updates after the CISM World Championships. The third separate schedule of the 8-way team... (more)

Did you know that France Maubeuge and Sebastian XL took the lead in 1999?
posted: Jul 20th, 2024 France has taken the lead in the 4-way Open. Airspeed showed another weak spot in Round 4. The incomplete cat on the first page caused a costly penalty. The defending world champions had to watch France take the 1st place after four rounds. France is very eager to win Excalibur back after Airspeed took it from France in 1995. Even without the bust, France would have scored the highscore in Round 4. Now, Airspeed is really facing a tough challenge. And the simultaneously running competition in 8-way doesn't make it any easier. The meet director is running 4-way and 8-way at the same time. Airspeed... (more)

posted: Jul 19th, 2024 The NSL News reported on June 20th that the ESL Championship of the European Skydiving League will have a comeback this year. The last ESL Championship was held before the pandemic in 2019, and the skydiving center in Spa hosted the event. The mentioned update pointed out that the Fallschirmsportzentrum (FSZ) Saar was the competition site of the previous ESL Championship in 2018, and Mike Pennock is hosting this year's event once again in Saarlouis. It is the same place where the dramatic 8-way battle between Airbus 8-way and Operation Adler took place last year at the German national outdoor... (more)
