posted Sep 8th, 2015 - Two rounds have been completed in 4-way Open at the FAI World Cup 2015, and the judges are finishing off the 4-way work with a few missing videos and the four teams in 4-way Women.

The French Girls matched the second highest score behind NMP-PCH Hayabusa with the 21-pointer for Round 1 and outscored the French Open Class lineup by a point. Hayabusa lost a point in Round 1 and was only one point ahead. However, the Belgians picked up the pace in Round 2 and left the rest of the field in the dust. Russia's Black Cat lineup is still 2nd place, one point ahead of the new French Open Class lineup. Valentin Ilin said that the World Cup lineup had only a handful of training jumps before traveling to the Netherlands.

The 4-way teams will be done after Round 2, and it will be 8-way time in Teuge.

The Sun Path Products NSL News met with Gary Smith and Joey Jones during lunch time for the first session of the Coaches Corner. There is a long break in the middle of the day that the teams can use to eat rest and prepare for the next rounds.

Gary Smith is coaching NMP-PCH Hayabusa and the Qatar Falcons in 8-way. He is also competing with M8trix at the same time. The Qatar Falcons and M8trix might be close to each other on the leaderboard, and Gary Smith has very long days on the drop zone.

Joey Jones is busy in 4-way, as he is coaching the new Australian 4-way team Impulse, and also Energy from Italy. Then he is competing with the British 4-way team 4mula that he recently guided to the 2nd place at the UK Nationals 2015.
