Did you know that the dream of 4-way and 8-way double gold is still alive?
posted: Jul 5th, 2005 The French 8-way team was two points ahead of Arizona Airspeed after the first two rounds on Monday and had put up a very impressive performance especially in round two. The NSL News asked French national coach Jerome David for background information on the 8-way progression before round three began. NSL News: Jerome, last time we talked you wanted to spend more time with the family, how did this work out? Jerome David: Very good, better than in the years before because now I have many technical coaches that work for me on the drop zones. I am more behind the computer and the telephone working...

Did you know that Fastrax posted the highscore in round three?
posted: Jul 4th, 2005 Round three of the 4-way Open competition was the round for the underdogs. The leaders after round two and three, Airspeed Velocity and DeLand Fire, could still not break their tie and have posted identical scores for each round so far. Airspeed Odyssey fell five points behind after several flaws and point deductions (2) in the fast sequence (K-A-3-F). The winners of round three were Spa Hayabusa from Belgium and Team Fastrax. Hayabusa came first on DZ-TV and impressed with the highest score of 27 points. DeLand Fire and Airspeed Velocity had to deal with a brainlock (Fire) and a point deduction... (more)

Did you know that DeLand Fire and Airspeed Velocity share the lead after two rounds?
posted: Jul 4th, 2005 The event activities at the Malevsky Memorial Cup 2005 have picked up the pace hour by hour. The last training day on Sunday ended with most beautiful weather. The team briefing took place on the competition site at 7 pm, and the competition draw was handed out. The teams went straight to work, while the draw was uploaded to the NSL scoring table. All three Formation Skydiving events, 4-way Open, 4-way Female and 8-way, use the same numbers and letters for all ten rounds. All registered teams were on site Monday morning with the Austrian team FILA and the French team Mandelieu-Noene arriving... (more)

Did you know that DeLand Fire is on top of the leaderboard after the training round?
posted: Jul 3rd, 2005 The activities at the competition site of the Malevsky Cup 2005 picked up pace and momentum today. Usually teams do not jump very much on the last day before a competition. However, the bad weather of the last week put many teams significantly behind the planned meet preparation, and they used the much better weather conditions today to warm up for the competition. Teams, competitors, videographers, pilots, manifest, staff and judges had a very busy day, and the NSL-TV used the warm-up procedures in the judging room to steal some videos of the official training jumps from the DZ-TV.

Did you know that Sinapsi PD got trapped in the change of the event cycle?
posted: Jul 3rd, 2005 The last NSL News story covering the eligibility status of Pete Allum and the Italian national 4-way team Sinapsi PD was posted on June 14. The story included links to previous articles on the same topic. Not much has changed in the meantime. As reported, the Italian Aeroclub has filed an appeal to the official FAI/IPC decision, while the team has continued with the original plans. These plans included Sinapsi's attendance at the Malevsky Memorial Cup 2005. The Italian team has already been at the competition site in Russia for a week and is ready for the first round tomorrow morning. Unfortunately... (more)

Did you know that the defending Malevsky Cup champions are watching the competition from the ground position?
posted: Jul 2nd, 2005 Doug Park has been the engine of the reigning 4-way world champion DeLand Majik since 2002. He won the gold medal at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving in Croatia 2004 with the original line-up of the early Majik years, and he is still in the driver's seat of the Inside Center position with the new Majik line-up, including Solly Williams, David VanGreuningen and Robert Healy. Doug Park is also the defending champion of the Malevsky Cup ever since the inauguration of the event in 2002. He is once again on the competition site in Russia.
