It is different this year. National Formation Skydiving manager Jeremie Rollett, who is still the reigning 4way world champion of 2010, has ordered his 4way and 8way lineups to travel to Vichy and compete on home turf this week. Aerodyne Aerokart (4way) and Aerodyne Maubeuge (8way) will not be declared national champions at the end of the event, and they don't have serious competition in Vichy. Their job is a different one at the French Nationals 2012

The NSL News reported earlier that France tries once again to win 4way and 8way with the same lineup. The previous attempts in 2003 and 2008 failed, and Mathieu Bernier became the only and single competitor in the history of the sport who won both gold medals in Menzelinsk 2010. Now his whole 4way lineup tries to copy this achievement in Dubai 2012.
The 8way lineup is also in good shape, as it seems. The 22.0 average after six rounds matches the scores of the Golden Knights at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012, with four more rounds to come. The French 8way team started this year's training in June and has to share time and resources with the 4way lineup.
The leaderboard after six rounds also shows the three French B-Teams in perfect order and the usual battle between Monaco Aerial and the French Air Force team from Nice. Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders, the French national team in the female 4way category, saves the team energies for the competition with the Golden Knights at the upcoming World Cup.
