Did you know that France and Belgium will have their final showdown in Round 10?
posted: Aug 8th, 2007 The semifinals have been completed in the 4-way Open class competition, while the female teams have already completed all ten rounds. The German Chicas came back strongly in Round 9 and won the bronze medals. France and Russia took the first two places. Nothing has changed in the Open Class. Hayabusa Defence and France Maubeuge decided to leave the final decision for a real showdown in Round 10 and tied their scores once again in Round 9 with 30-pointers each. Hayabusa is still up by one point. The Sky Panthers added another highscore for a single round to their account with the 32-pointer.... (more)

Did you know that the race for the gold medals has been reduced to a duel this morning?
posted: Aug 8th, 2007 Today's first two rounds in the 4-way Open class brought some motion into the area of the medal positions, as well. Hayabusa Defence seems to be committed to hang on to the first place and bring the biggest success for a Belgian 4-way team back home. France Maubeuge continues with a clean and strong performance. Only the Russian Sky Panthers have fallen behind, and the downslope began already in yesterday's Round 6. The Sky Panthers lost three more points in Round 7 and one more point in Rond 8 and have little chances for gold medals any longer. (more)

Did you know that Ukraine is in bronze medal position after Round 8?
posted: Aug 8th, 2007 It's an Ukrainian day in the female 4-way category so far. The first two rounds of the third competition day did not change anything on the very top where the new French line-up continues to increase the distance to the other teams. However, Alpha Fox has even outscored Russia's JetBats with the total of these two rounds. Today's aggressive performance has moved the Ukrainian team past the German Chicas and into the bronze medal position. Now it is up to the Chicas to take action and challenge the 1-point deficit after eight rounds. Dr. Rainer "Exi" Hoenle observed the action in the female... (more)

Did you know that Germany conquered the bronze medal position with a new national 8-way record?
posted: Aug 7th, 2007 Guillaume Bernier, Mathieu Bernier, Julien Degen, Jeremie Rollet and Alexandre Pereira have a long day at the FAI World Cup 2007. In fact, their day is almost twice as long as for the other teams and competitors. They are members of both French national A-Teams in Russia, in 4-way and in 8-way. The NSL News story on January 16 explained how the French selection process works and how national coach Jerome David selected the line-ups. The story on February 1 followed up and provided additional information. (more)

Did you know that Hayabusa Defence is on top of the world after the first day?
posted: Aug 7th, 2007 The race in the 4-way Open competition is still as exciting and close after six rounds as it was ever since the first round. The three top teams are within two points of each other, and nobody else seems to be able to get close to this trio. Black Cat tied the highscore of 21 points in Round 6. However, the 8-point difference is too much in such an excellent field. None of the three top contenders was able to settle in first place so far, which has made the competition very interesting round by round. The Sky Panthers had the first lead after Round 1 and were already overtaken by France Maubeuge... (more)

Did you know that France Maubeuge dominates the female 4-way competition?
posted: Aug 7th, 2007 The competition has moved on quickly today in Russia. The second day is over, and the meet is running perfectly on schedule. Six rounds have been completed in both 4-way events, and four rounds are in the 8-way books. It is time for the NSL News to catch up with the female category of the 4-way event. There are no surprises so far. France dominates the competition, and the 15.8 average after six rounds would put the best all-female team in 12th position of the Open event. The question at the end of this competition will be how close the French team is currently compared to the British top teams.... (more)
