The Open Class team even extended the 3-point lead after Round 5 to eight points. However, the French Girls still ended up with the highest average (22.6) in the French 4-way Women history, disregarding the 23.6 average at the World Meet 2010 in Menzelinsk, where all 4-way teams benefitted from two very fast sequences in the 10-round draw.
Only the Golden Knights have ever scored higher in a 10-round competition without any super sequences, when they posted the 22.7 average at the World Air Games 2015.

Coach Marin Ferre has once again guided his team through a quick progression after taking over the new job at the end of the 2014 season. He had been working with the French Girls since 2009 and was newly assigned to the Open Class team by national coaches Jeremie Rollett and Mathieu Bernier.
It seems like France, potential top contender for this year's bronze medals at the Mondial, has even reduced the distance to the very top level of 4-way competition, where NMP PCH HayaBusa is the reigning world champion and Arizona Airspeed the challenger.

HayaBusa and Airspeed were miles ahead of both French national 4-way teams at the World Meet 2014 in Prostejov, and they will most likely once again leave only the battle for the bronze medals for all other teams. However, the distance might be different this year.
There is also still the big question mark behind Canada's reigning 4-way bronze medalist Evolution, and Russia's Black Cat have not posted any outdoor scores this year, as well. Fact is at this point in time that the French national 4-way teams will be ready to rumble at Skydive Chicago...
