However, the NSL News reported in October 1999 how Silvanus (Solly) Williams covered the FAI World Championship 1999 for the internet presence that the NSL News had at that time.

Did you know that NMP PCH HayaBusa turned the CISM leaderboard with three consecutive highscores? posted: Jul 9th, 2024 All is said and done in Hungary, and NMP PCH HayaBusa won the 16th consecutive CISM World Championship title for Belgium, with probably the team's best performance of the 8-round competition.
InTime's Dirk Venter, who controlled the operation of the judging system live in Hungary and is an experienced competitor and FAI Judge himself, said that HayaBusa's engineering of the last sequence made a significant difference.
