The two leaders on the annual ICL leader, Hurricane Factory and iFLY Dallas, both missed scores for two of the six categories, which was enough to allow ICL Midwest to win the July competition. The iFLY Dallas team for July actually performed all six sequences, as the NSL News reported on August 1st, while Kyle Hermberg could not use all scores and videos for the July total.
Jan Klapka's team in the Czech Republic did not even perform all six sequences with the missing result for the A Class. He had TNT's scores and videos for three sequences and submitted the highest two scores for the July leaderboard, just as well as Kyle Hermberg did in Texas, where the same AA/A/RRR lineup performed three sequences last month. Some of Jan Klapka's Indoor Cloud League regulars were focusing on outdoor competition, and two teams could only generate scores and videos for four categories.

In fact, Sky Walkers had an average age of under 17 (15 - 16 - 16 - 18) when they won their first championship title in 2023, just a few months after all team members had completed their outdoor student training. A year later they posted their first 17-average total at the end of a 10-round meet in Most.
Once again, they had to master the PAC exit on the way to the 17.0 average, which means that they could probably finish with an even higher total with easier exits from a Twin Otter or a Cessna Caravan. However, Skywalkers Junior's focus on outdoor training paid back six weeks after their 15.5 average at the June meet of the Czech Skydiving League.

The complete Cirkus 2.0 lineup spent some time in the Hurricane Factory together before competing at the national outdoor championship. They generated the July scores and videos for Jan Klapka's Indoor Cloud League team, which were still the highscores for the AAA/AA sequences on the ICL July leaderboard. The well prepared former 4-way juniors in their current outdoor lineup were still out of reach for any other AAA Class team in Most, and Skywalkers Junior would most likely be in contention for a Top 10 position at the FAI Outdoor World Championships 2024 in October, maybe even for a challenge of the teams who aim at the 5th place.
No Czech 4-way team has performed on the Skywalkers Junior level in the history of the country's 4-way competition, and Jan Klapka and his former 4-way juniors have even higher goals than the Top 10 or the 5th place for the new Czech national 4-way team.
