posted Mar 31st, 2017 - The aftermath of the French Indoor Nationals 2017 continues with a guest team from Italy.

Amnesya Fly-In has been a regular at national and international 4-way meets since the team was founded in 2015 and is a shooting star in the Italian 4-way community.

The young and new team won the A Class competition at the Italian Nationals 2015 and placed 2nd a few months later at the Clash of Champions 2015 in the same category.

Italy applies only the A and the AAA Class, and Amnesya came back to take on the complete FAI dive pool for the first time at the World Challenge 2016. The 15.1 average at the Italian Nationals 2016 was the first outdoor result in the AAA Class and brought the 4th place at the Italian Nationals 2016. Amnesya concluded the 2016 competition season with bronze medals and a 23.0 average at the ISR Grand Prix 2016.

The 2017 season began for Amnesya with a 21.9 average at the Wind Games, and the Italian team was one of the few who were able to maintain a similar scoring level of the Wind Games throughout the Weembi meet with a slower competition draw.

Amnesya will follow up with another indoor competition at the World Challenge 2017 before beginning with more intensive preparations with coach David Grauwels for the outdoor events.

The new team will be facing tough competition of other strong and experienced Italian teams who would like to compete for their country at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2018 in Australia.

However, Amnesya is determined to give it a good shot at the team's second national championships in the AAA Class and try to win the Italian 4-way tickets to Australia.

Italy has a successful history in 4-way and 8-way Formation Skydiving competition. Sinapsi PD won 4-way bronze medals in 2006, with Livio Piccolo in the lineup, who is training and competing for Sei Uno Zero (610), last year's silver medalist in Italy.

610 are back this year and will try to turn silver into gold, which will be defended by Ex3mo who would like to travel to Australia, as well.

The race for the Italian top spot also includes Energy, who were only two points behind 610 last year. There will surely be a very tough battle for Amnesya to win the first national 4-way title.

However, Amnesya is planning to complete 200 training jumps before the national outdoor championships, and additional indoor training will complete the training plan. 610 member Livio Piccolo is hosting the Italian Nationals 2017 at his skydiving center in Fano, and Amnesya has to break the team's home turf advantage and outscore the reigning champion Ex3mo veterans. There is a tough job coming...
