Did You Know...

... that meet director and competitor Carl-Erik Tuv had a few minutes for NSL Live Talk?

Skydive Voss on a sunny Wednesday afternoon
posted Aug 23rd, 2023 - Three more 8-way rounds were completed at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2023, which puts the event ahead of the 4-way competition. The host decided to give the 8-way teams the next break and called the 4-way teams to Skydive Voss for the early morning shift on Thursday.

Meet director Carl-Erik Tuv, former and current Norgies/Norgyx member, finally had some time available for NSL Live Talk, as the operation is running smoothly and his assistants are working efficiently with him. One of them is Trude Sviggum, who is a former member of Norway's national teams, as well.

She won silver medals with the Norgie Girls at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2003 and another set of FAI bronze medals with Polaris in Dubai 2012. Carl-Erik Tuv's daughter Christiane Wilhelmine Sorfjord Tuv is in Norway's current 4-way Women lineup. She will try to get to the medal level in the same category with the new and young team Thyra.

Carl-Erik Tuv said that he made his first jump at Skydive Voss where he is now directing the first FAI outdoor competition in Norway. He added that the original DeLand Norgies have new plans for the coming years with the transition into the modern 4-way style. They will not compete for Norway at world championships or word cups, while they want to continue challenging the national teams as long as possible. Agera won this year by two points (187 - 185).

Fun Flag summary with the situation on Tuesday evening
Trude Sviggum pointed out that one of the U.S. teams had a special relationship with the host long before arriving in Voss. The Wednesday edition of the local newspaper found out that 8-way team Bra Nok has actually a Norwegian name. Bra Nok decided last year that they would like to compete at the world cup and qualified for the event at the USPA Nationals 2022. Bra Nok means "Good Enough" in English.

The early and exciting start of the Fun Flag activities, with Elise Poindron climbing up the training rock in the middle of Skydive Voss, initiated consecutive follow-up action, and the Fun Flag has transitioned to new temporary owners several times in the two days of competition.

The NSL News witnessed yesterday's transition from the British delegation to U.S. possession, when Bra Nok and Lightspeed XP member Brandon Kashani had to show similar athletic skills and strength to get to the location of the Fun Flag in the packing area, assisted by his Bra Nok team mate and new Skydive Midwest NEXT member Katie Healy.

Eventually, the judges took control of the Fun Flag, as the last photo on the current summary is showing. The current location is unknown.
