posted Aug 16th, 2013 - The winners of the World Cup 2013 are well defined at the end of the Friday action in three of the four Formation Skydiving events. NMP-PCH Hayabusa is still without any infringements and had only two point deductions due to video angles. It could become the cleanest Hayabusa performance in team history.

The French 8way team was only competing with history's record numbers from the beginning and is winning the 8way gold medals. Dubai Nexus will not let the new Team4speed lineup get anywhere close in the remaining two rounds.

The 4th event is the interesting one and cannot offer any more exciting competition. It is a horse race between Golden Knights and Aerodyne French Girls, and there is no indication that it will not continue like that. The remaining two rounds will keep the audience on their toes.

The new NSL Reality TV clip is showing Laura Dickmeyer in a TV interview shortly before the call for Round 8. Craig Girard then explains how his Dubai Assar lineups came back together after some health troubles yesterday.

Last not least, Joey Jones wrapped up the day for the Sun Path Products NSL News, while the judges were finishing up the female 4way competition.

The semifinals allow only ten national teams to continue with Round 9. This FAI rule does not change the situation in three events and only eliminates teams in the 4way Open Class. There are teams from ten nations in Banja Luka. Barkli will compete for Russia in the remaining two rounds, Dubai Asaar Black for the United Arab Emirates and Raykipo for the United Kingdom. The best six teams will then advance into the finals and Round 10.
