posted Dec 30th, 2017 - The 2017 season was still not completely over after the Belgian Indoor Nationals. Julien Degen and his Weembi staff with other current and former French national competitors and world champions had their own last indoor meet of the year scheduled on the same weekend as the event in Belgium.

This made it very difficult or impossible for any teams and competitors to attend both events, even though France and Belgium are neighboring countries in Europe. Liege (Fly-In host in Belgium) and Lille (Weembi host in France) are separated by roughly two hours of driving distance.

It was not impossible for Amnesya member Chiara Brunetti, who had a very busy weekend by first completing ten meet rounds with her own Italian 4-way team in Belgium, where she also added another ten 8-way rounds to her flying agenda with ISR FireFlash and HayaBusa's David Grauwels in the lineup.

Then she quickly made the trip to Weembi in Lille where the Weembi Girls were waiting for her to complete ten more 8-way rounds.

Only five of the Weembi Girls (Christine Malnis, Sophia Pecout, Sylvie Normand, Gaelle Giesen, Noemie Lago) who had posted the 24.4 average at the French Indoor Nationals 2017 in March were back for the Weembinamic meet, and the team needed new members.

Gaelle Giesen invited her team mate Jessica Thebault to join the 8-way lineup. They are both members of the second French B-Team, Espoir Weembi from Maubeuge, who also competed in 4-way at the same event.

Chiara Brunetti helped to fill the 7th slot for the Weembi Girls, which left the team still short of one female team member.

Bruno Perin, former French 8-way world champion, eventually volunteered for the last open slot with the seven Weembi Girls, who are organized by Christine Malnis and Sophia Pecout, both members of the French national team in 4-way Women.

The new international and mixed-gender lineup still beat the previous March scores with a 24.5 average.

The main opponent for the Weembi Girls was the same one as in March. Martial Ferre, another former French 4-way and 8-way world champion, was back with his Veloce QRF lineup, which is his international signature lineup of all the 8-way teams he is organizing.

He also had five of his team members in March, including himself, back in the lineup (Petra Baerenfaenger, Jérome Héritier, Uwe Soppa, Henning Stumpp, Martial Ferre) and had to replace Marco Arrigo, Nicolas David and William Hamouchi.

Seth Ericson and Paul Hofstee have been training and competing with Veloce QRF in the past, while Kjetil Nordin of the Danish national 4-way team Pangaea was new to the 8-way project and attended his first 8-way indoor competition at Weembinamic. The Veloce lineup eventually ended up with the opposite 1-7 gender ratio compared to the Weembi Girls.

The overwhelming female power won the meet this time clearly for the Weembi Girls, after a much closer battle in March, where the difference was only nine points.

The Belgian FlyIn Machine 44 guest team had run away from the 8-way field at the French Indoor Nationals as much as the Weembi Girls now distanced themselves from Veloce QRF. Host Julien Degen won the 4-way competition with a British pickup team.
