Did you know that Oceanside AtomiX reverse the previous team announcement? posted: Oct 20th, 2021 It was less than two week ago when the NSL News reported that the German 4-way champion team of 2019, Oceanside AtomiX, announced their continuation of the team project until at least the national championships next year.
Things have changed in the meantime, and team speaker Peter Ingenhaag now informed the team supporters and the public that the recent announcement had to be corrected. He posted that AtomiX withdraws from 4-way training and competition and that the team members may go their own ways from here on forward.
He provided an emotional overview of the nine years that the team needed... (more)

Did you know that female 4-way competitors are still dominating in Great Britain? posted: Sep 1st, 2021 Nothing changed in the medal rankings of the British Outdoor Nationals 2021, compared to the previous 4-way championships in 2019. NFTO defended the title successfully, two years later and with the team's new lineup, even though it was a significantly closer battle with Chimera's new lineup.
Eros won the next set of bronze medals with the same lineup, and the British female 4-way competitors are still dominating. Seven of the twelve competitors in front of the cameras, which are operated by three male videographers, have the female majority over the five male team members in the two teams behind... (more)
Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP's Christy Frikken is the highest-placing female 4-way competitor since 2010? posted: Aug 20th, 2021 All four events at FAI World Championships of Formation Skydiving (4-way Open - 4-way Women - 4-way VFS - 8-way Open) have been using the same numbers and letters for their respective dive pools since the 4-way VFS teams added a few more random formations and blocks to reach the same number as the other three events (22 blocks - 16 random formations).
The dive pools are still different and create sequences with different maneuvers and inters, at least between VFS, 8-way and 4-way. However, the sequences are exactly the same and identical between 4-way Open and 4-way Women, which allows direct... (more)
Did you know that the French national team in 4-way Women could face an unexpected challenge? posted: Aug 8th, 2021 Last and not least, the NSL Power Rankings in 4-way Women complete the preview of the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 in the three Formation Skydiving competition events. It is the youngest of the three traditional events and was introduced to world championships for the first time in 2001.
The 4-way Women competition was hit harder by the implications of the corona virus crisis than the previously covered events in 4-way Open and 8-way Open. Only four national teams are registered for the competition, which is the lowest number of participating teams in the history of the event.
This is not different... (more)
Did you know that Echochamber have a big decision to make at the end of August? posted: Aug 1st, 2021 Sweden had another comeback in skydiving competition, even though it was as small as can be. Two teams showed up for the national championships in July, and the new Echochamber lineup had no problem with defending the national 4-way title.
Three of the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) came back this year with their national championships, after only Denmark and Norway held their events in 2020.
