posted Feb 5th, 2015 - It took a while until the complete new lineup of the French Girls eventually came together at the same place and the same time.

The Sun Path Products NSL News reported on 15 November 2014 that three original Deep Blue members (Sophie Deremaux, Francoise Simons-Hamouchi, Amelie Tirman) competed with new French Girls member Clementine Le Bohec at the FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving and won with an impressive 24.7 average.

The other new team member, Anais Maillet, had her opportunity to compete with two of her new team mates and reigning 4-way Women world champions (Sophia Pecout, Christine Malnis) at the 5th Dubai International Parachuting Championship. Laurence Herve, the third French Girls world champion and new member of the French Open Class team, completed the lineup in Dubai.

Sophia Pecout, Christine Malnis, Laurence Herve and Perrine Sanchez, with Remy Grandcler on camera, had won the gold medals for France in 4-way Women at the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014 in August 2014.

The complete new lineup (Sophia Pecout, Christine Malnis, Clementine Le Bohec, Anais Maillet) eventually launched their new 2-year cycle with an indoor training camp in January 2015 at Airspace Indoor Skydiving in Belgium.

The new French Girls are now following up with the first outdoor training at Skydive Dubai. All team members have posted impressive scores by now with different lineups. However, it will still take a little while until the complete new lineup will post their first scoring numbers.

Another different lineup with a new combination of French Girls has signed up for the World Challenge 2015. Perrine Sanchez, world champion of 2012 and 2014, has a reunion with her former team mates Christine Malnis and Sophia Pecout.

Julien Degen, French 8-way world champions of 2006, 2008 and 4-way world champion of 2010 completes the lineup in Bedford. He was also in the French 4-way Open Class lineups of 2012 and 2014 and is now back in the new French 8-way lineup for the next two years.

There is no doubt that the three French Girls will once again post impressive scores. The question is when the complete new lineup is going to compete together for the first time. At least they have started training together by now...
