It seems like many Formation Skydiving competitors stay in the sport for a very long time, which makes it even more necessary to follow up on the profile stories. Lise Aune Nansen's NSL Profile was published in April 2001, when she was 34 years of age and had 17 years in the sport. The update adds another 15 years to the time in the sport, which makes it 32 years. That's a long time, and Lise Aune Nansen is not an exception.
Her name was still Lise Aune 14 years ago, and before she met and married Nikolai Nansen, a descendant of Fridtjof Nansen, who was a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Nikolai Nansen is a skydiver and 4-way competitor, too.

This time, the Norgies were within striking distance of the gold (Arizona Airspeed 21.4) and silver (France 21.2) medals and finished again in 3rd place with a 20.6 average.
The same lineup made a new 2-year plan and challenged the U.S.A. and France once again in 2003, while the British XL team tried to catch the DeLand Norgies. France on home turf and the Golden Knights were too strong, and the Norgies won the bronze medals for the third time by one single point over XL.

Her daughter Kari just turned 12 years old. She was born in February 2004, which means that she was actually a bronze medal winner at the World Meet 2003, as well...
