Team member Colin Rothman has been a member of South African teams at World Meets for even longer. He competed with the national team of 1999 in Australia. Equanimity, with Gary Smith, Solly Williams, Robbie Spencer and Fred Whitsitt, had discontinued after winning the bronze medals in Turkey 1997, and the 4way slot in South Africa was open again.
Current Voodoo member Dennis Parker joined Colin Rothman in the lineup that competed for South Africa at the World Meet 2001 in Spain. They both witnessed the 8way drama between Arizona Airspeed and Russia in Gerona.

She had taken Thiago Gomes' slot when he moved to the USA and competed for Voodoo between 2006 and 2011, even though the same lineup competed under the name Springboks at the World Challenge and the World Meet in 2008. Voodoo came back to Bodyflight Bedford for the World Challenge 2011, with the same lineup as in 2008 and after competing at the World Meet 2010 in Russia.
The Voodoo 2012 schedule will probably be identical with the 2008 schedule after attending the World Challenge 2012 first and then winning the national championships. The Mondial 2012 in Dubai will conclude the 2012 season. Only the lineup has changed.

One of the teams will also be a direct opponent in Dubai. Denmark's national team Bodyflight Voluntas placed right in front of Voodoo (19.7 - 19.4) with a 3-point distance. This was exactly the same situation at the last World Meet 2010 in Menzelinsk (19.0 - 16.8) even though Voluntas was much further ahead by then.
Voodoo has closed in on Denmark's national team of 2012, as it looks at the moment, and this counts for the outdoor scores this year, as well. Dubai is still far away though, and the South African Nationals are not over yet. Denmark's coach Solly Williams, born and raised in South Africa, bronze medal winner of 1997 with Equanimity and then world champion with DeLand Majik in 2004, will make sure that Voodoo has to work hard to threaten Voluntas...
