posted: Apr 4th, 2008 The NSL News story on 2 April 2008 evaluated the situation of the FAI World Cup champion of 2007, Hayabusa Defence, after competing at the World Challenge 2008 last weekend. The story mentioned that the Belgian top contender had hired Airspeed Odyssey's Craig Girard as the coach for a training camp in Eloy in March. Many people were asking the same question when those plans were made: why would one top contender for this year's medals at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving help another top contender with valuable information and insights? Hayabusa Defence member, Tail Roy Janssen,... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey peaked again at the right time?
posted: Mar 30th, 2008 All scores are posted, there was no jump-off, and the World Challenge 2008 is over. Airspeed Odyssey peaked once again at the right time and delivered flawlessly in the most important round of the meet, when the challenge was once again at the highest point. Just like in the first jump this morning, Airspeed came up with a performance level that was simply higher than any others. The situation was very similar, as XL had reduced the Airspeed lead to nothing in Round 9. Airspeed was under the same pressure as on Saturday evening and on Sunday morning. The meet experience and mental strength... (more)

Did you know that the judging of Round 10 will bring a jump-off - or not?
posted: Mar 30th, 2008 Things obviously turned around again at the World Challenge 2008, as the leaderboard after Round 9 shows. XL lost the first two rounds in the morning, however, still kept close enough to Airspeed. The NSL News mentioned earlier that the situation might be different compared to last year when XL collapsed on the second day. Airspeed Odyssey did not have a good Round 9 and lost two points in the judging room. It was enough to let the rest of the field beat and tie Airspeed's 21-pointer. XL won back three points and now shares the lead with Airspeed after Round 9. Airspeed's Round 8 was captured... (more)
