Did you know that the US Formation Skydiving delegation celebrates a golden comeback?
posted: Sep 24th, 2004 It was a good idea to finish as many events as possible on Thursday. The weather does not promise any more skydiving activities, and the locals confirm that the fall has arrived in Croatia. The clouds hang low, rain is in the forecast, the skydiving season is over, and so is the world meet. However, the 8-way teams are still on a stand-by status Friday morning and had to wait with their celebration, while the 4-way teams smoothly transitioned from competition to party mode last night. In fact, the party at the hotel, where all the teams and competitors have been accommodated, lasted all night.... (more)

Did you know that the NSL News interviewed Sally Hathaway before the last round of the meet?
posted: Sep 23rd, 2004 The teams are still on a weather hold at 2:00 p.m. in Croatia. The NSL News used the opportunity for an interview with Synchronicity's point, Sally Hathaway, who has been a member of the female US 4-way teams since 2001. Synchronicity is the leader of the competition after nine rounds. NSL News: Sally, you are very close to your second gold medal. Can anybody still catch Synchronicity? Sally Hathaway: Sure, the French girls. They are only three points behind. They are skydiving very well. NSL News: The US team looks strong and confident. Is it realistically possible for them to catch up,... (more)

Did you know that there have been several smaller battles within the meet?
posted: Sep 23rd, 2004 The event management moved very quickly when the weather allowed jumping for a short time in the later afternoon on Wednesday. The 4-way Open Class teams had to wait for a while before the first call to the plane came. Round eight would be an important round not only for the medal contenders. Only the best ten teams of the 21-team field would make the cut and move on into the quarterfinals of round nine. On the other hand, the competition for the last cut position in 10th place was not really close. Teams had already settled in their slots throughout the earlier rounds. Spain's team Empuriabrava...

Did you know that Italy Kewara made a move at the right time?
posted: Sep 22nd, 2004 Wednesday still turned out to be a quite busy day. The 8-way event has caught up and completed eight rounds, while the 4-way Women's event has only one more round to go. The 4-way Open class completed round seven in the afternoon and also the semifinals later. The finals are left for tomorrow. The 8-way competition continues to be very close between the three top teams from the USA, France and Russia. None of the teams is able to pull away from the rivals. The highest scores for the rounds are evenly devided between all three teams. However, Arizona Airspeed had managed to win round three more... (more)

Did you know that there are many well known 4-way teams competing in Croatia?
posted: Sep 22nd, 2004 The whole competition in Croatia is on a weather hold Wednesday morning, teams are on a stand-by status. The original plan for today was the conclusion of the world meet in all events. This will not happen. The local forecast seems to offer a chance for some jumping later on. However, there is no chance to complete the remaining rounds today any longer. Locals are also afraid that the famous wind, the "Bora", will blow hard to push the front through. Teams and competitors experienced this weather situation already right before the start of the competition last week. The host keeps teams and competitors... (more)
