Did you know that NSL-TV presents the World Meet 2006 award ceremony for 4-way? posted: Aug 15th, 2006 The NSL News was actually planning to follow up later on the World Meet 2006 with more stories and information.

Did you know that Russia stands at a 23.4 average after round five? posted: Aug 15th, 2006 There is not much more to say about the Russian team Black Cat at the moment. The scores speak for themselves. The only question is whether Black Cat will be able to continue with this first-class performance throughout the remaining six rounds or not.

Did you know that round ten promises scores up to 50 points in time? posted: Aug 13th, 2006 The Malevsky Cup 2006 begins as the World Meet 2006 ended - with teams remaining on stand-by status all day long. The 4-way event has a lower priority this time since Canopy Relative Work and Accuracy/Style hold their world championships at the Malevsky Cup 2006. Teams and competitors of these two other two events have already been in the air.
The NSL News used some of the ground time to discuss the World Meet 2006 in hindsight with the French competitor and coach Erwan Pouliquen. He won the gold medal in Germany as the technical coach and alternate with the French 8-way team. He also won the... (more)
