posted Apr 24th, 2018 - The presentation of the combined AAA Class leaderboard after the FAI European Indoor Championship 2018 also includes the meet videos of the three missing top teams, who competed in two different FAI/IPC categories, 4-way Open (Aerodyne Realfly, Black Cat) and 4-way Women (Aerodyne Weembi Girls).

All three teams finished with new record averages, just as several teams did on the previous weekend at the World Challenge 2018.

Only three of the 15 AAA Class teams in Norway competed at both events (ACM Weembi, FlySpot Sky4Four, Skydive University Slovakia), and none of the 4-way junior teams had signed up for the AA Class in Bedford, as well.

The Aerodyne Weembi Girls showed more of their indoor strength in Norway and finished only one single point behind the 4-way Open Class winner, the French national team in this category, Aerodyne Realfly.

The complete female lineup might have even been able to give Arizona Airspeed a competition in Bedford, where Sophia Pecout and Christine Malnis finished ahead of the U.S. team with Weembi Mix.

Russia's Black Cat was back in 4-way action, while the team members also train hard in 8-way with Tanay under Craig Girard's guidance. It was the same Black Cat lineup that had placed 4th at the FAI Indoor World Meet 2017 after an extra round to break the tie with Arizona Airspeed.

Black Cat was only eight points behind the winner in Norway, Aerodyne Realfly, and won three of the ten rounds. However, once again, the Russian 4-way and 8-way experts had to allow the French national team in 4-way Women to place higher, as well.

This is nothing unusual, as the Aerodyne Weembi Girls have been using the 4-way Open Class leaderboard to measure their own performance level for a while.

This time, and in the absence of NMP PCH HayaBusa and Arizona Airspeed, only the other French national team managed to fend off the challenge by the all-female team - by a single point.

Aerodyne Realfly will still be happy with the 1-point win, as the event was the indoor re-match after the French Indoor Nationals 2018 where Aerodyne Weembi Girls won by seven points...
