Did you know that the story of round 3 in 8-way?
posted: Sep 10th, 2003 Good news for the 8-way fans. The NSL News was able to upload some video files. Round two of the 8-way event can now be viewed with the jumps of France, U.S.A. and Russia. The quality is not that impressive since the moving pictures are still filmed off the large screen in the spectator area. However, it is possible to see enough and get the idea. Hopefully, some 4-way videos will follow later. (more)

Did you know that V-Max took control in round six?
posted: Sep 9th, 2003 The 4-way Women's event had the rattling noise in round six that the 4-way Open would have needed for more excitement. The Norgie Girls had major level problems with their Block 9 out the door and needed a good while to clean up the mess. Once they had the sequence under control, they were moving quickly and still posted 24 points in time. However, the damage was done, V-Max went through the sequence without any major issues and finished with 28 points in time. That was enough to take the lead by one point over the Norgie Girls. And the 4-way Women's event has become a tight competition again. (more)

Did you know that the story of round 6 in 4-way?
posted: Sep 9th, 2003 Let's say it this way: France was surely not affected much by anything, neither physically nor mentally. It was once again a very long day for the French 4-way team. But they went their way and posted another highscore for round six. In fact, France Maubeuge had the highest score for a round in five of the six jumps. It does not look as if anything can stop them from bringing the gold medal back to France. The fastest round of the meet is over and nothing has changed, except that the French lead is now up to seven points. The dominance of the team from Maubeuge is quite obvious. (more)

Did you know that the story of round 5 in 4-way?
posted: Sep 9th, 2003 The 4-way competition needs a miracle now to keep it interesting for the audience. We might have expected a team to win a round by three points in the next fast round six. France Maubeuge must have jumped on another planet in round five for two reasons. They 21 they posted for the slow sequence D-22-4 left the rest of the field in the dust. The Golden Knights, Norway and Russia had a hard time to get to the 18 as the second best score for this round. Secondly and unfortunately, the crowd never got the chance to see this phenomenal performance. Transmission problems to the public screen occured... (more)

Did you know that the situation after round 5?
posted: Sep 8th, 2003 Norway and Great Britain did not make a move in round five and kept it quiet. The fast round six is coming up and will require the whole energy. It will be the chance for V-Max to make up the distance, which is still three points after five rounds. In the meantime, the defending champion Synchronicity still struggles and had to watch Italy catching up, as well. U.S.A., France and Italy are now all tied in third place. Both Italy and France are surprisingly strong and will probably keep pushing for the third place. Round six has begun. (more)

Did you know that the story of round 4 in 4-way?
posted: Sep 8th, 2003 What an accurate prediction by Solly Williams! Round four turned out almost exactly the way he expected it. Sinapsi PD had problems with this sequence and could not keep their usual pace. Sebastian XL and DeLand Norgies both had excellent jumps and shared the highest score of the round with the Golden Knights and France Maubeuge. Four teams ended up with 19 points on the scoreboard. And the Norgies took back "their" third place. None of the four high-scorers of this round had an advantage. In fact, Sebastian XL and the Golden Knights both started slower than France and the Norgies and were on very... (more)
