This year's event will also include a special preview of the 4way situation in Russia. Four teams have signed up for the competition and will have their own internal battle on the Paraclete XP leaderboard.
The NSL News introduced Sunny Wind with the story on 25 October 2012 and a.Team 4way on 17 February 2013. Black Cat has been a part of Russia's 4way presence on national and international leaderboards for many years, sometimes on the top part, sometimes in the middle of the field. The latest Russian addition to the Paraclete XP Outdoor field is the most exciting one. Sky Panthers Barkli is sending a top lineup to DeLand.

Team captain Oleg Shalamykhin informed the NSL News that his team is coming back for the 2013 season with the same lineup that competed at the Mondial Dubai 2012. NMP-PCH Hayabusa and Sky Panthers Barkli are now the only teams on the world's top 4way level who had no personnel changes after Dubai.
In fact, Oleg Shalamykhin, Sergey Shenin and Vladimir Pavlenko have been training and competing together for a longer time period than any other top 4way or 8way competitors in the world, as the NSL News reported with a series of articles last year. The story continues for at least another year.

This lineup's persistance was finally rewarded in Menzelinsk 2010 where Michail Kuznetsov won his second bronze medal after 2004, and the same 3way (Oleg Shalamykhin, Sergey Shenin, Vladimir Pavlenko) was finally also climbing onto the 4way podium. Andrey Seliverstov was filming the Sky Panthers Barkli.
Michail Kuznetsov then stepped back, and sponsor Leonid Kazinets trained and competed with Sky Panthers Barkli. However, his time for skydiving is limited, and Barkli 8way member Nikolay Vylegzhanin has shared the slot with him. Andrey Seliverstov was again on camera when Sky Panthers Barkli's 5way team finished in 5th place at the Mondial Dubai 2012.

All Sky Panthers Barkli members were in DeLand last year at the same time but competed only in 8way, as they focused on winning a medal for Russia at the Mondial Dubai 2012. The main Barkli focus is now on 4way, and the same event doesn't offer 8way competition this time.
The Sky Panthers will be well prepared for the first international showdown. Oleg Shalamykhin, who has also accepted the official position of the Russian national coach, said that his team has completed some indoor training in Moscow, and they will follow up with outdoor training in DeLand beginning on the 5th of March. The competition begins on March 15th.
