Did you know that Airbus try to defend FAI 8-way bronze medals for Germany? posted: Aug 30th, 2025 Matt Landsmann produced the daily summary of the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 for Skydive Teuge, and Regan Tetlow was once again in charge of the entertaining part. The 6-minute video clip covered the activities on the first day of the competition.
There was more than enough time on Saturday to watch whatever has been made available, as the weather situation did not allow any more rounds in any event until mid-afternoon. Teams and competitors were well prepared when the weather changed quickly, and meet director Ronald Overdijk, ISC delegate for the Netherlands, called all events into action as... (more)
Did you know that Qatar Falcons and Prison 9 are much closer to each other than expected? posted: Aug 30th, 2025 The NSL News mentioned in the last update from Skydive Teuge that Round 1 in the 8-way competition had a surprising outcome, as one of the three U.S. teams at the outdoor world cup finished the meet opener only one single point behind the undisputed favorite for the 8-way gold medals, the Qatar Falcons.
Prison 9, with the complete current 4-way lineup of SDC Rhythm XP, including team videographer Charlie Mcgee, were three points ahead of the next U.S. team (Mandatory Fun!) and five points ahead of Bra Nok after Round 1. Prison 9 had met the Qatar Falcons last time at the previous outdoor world... (more)
Did you know that Gary Smith and Mathieu Bernier evaluated the situation after Round 4? posted: Aug 29th, 2025 The 4-way teams completed their first four rounds successfully, while the 8-way teams were stopped by cloudy weather after Round 1. This one single round was still more exciting than expected, as U.S. team Prison 9, with all SDC Rhythm XP members in the lineup, finished Round 1 only one single point behind the Qatar Falcons.
The 1-point difference in Round 1 still needs to be confirmed by Prison 9 before they become a serious challenger for the Falcons. The Qatar 8-way team completed the whole Block 19 and were stopped in the transition to the 20th point, a Diamond Flake (F). while Prison 9... (more)
Did you know that Round 1 is out of the way for teams and coaches in Teuge? posted: Aug 29th, 2025 The first NSL News update on Friday morning included yesterday's last activities of the day before Round 1, opening ceremony, competition draw and preparations for the first round of the competition. The second NSL TV Unfiltered video clip on Friday morning was still recorded before Round 1. It was featuring the time when the hosting skydiving center opens the doors, and eventually the nerve-wrecking situation when the teams are beginning to move from the boarding area into the jump plane.
It is a very exciting time for the coaches, observers, friends and family too, who are done with getting... (more)
Did you know that balloons popped open with numbers and letters at the opening ceremony? posted: Aug 29th, 2025 The official opening ceremony concluded the training day on the 28th of August. It was originally scheduled for the same time at a different location nearby, which would have better resembled the Dutch culture and geography. However, the weather situation with rain in the forecast caused the re-location of the opening ceremony to Tent City.
It did not change the atmosphere of the event and for the participants who were introduced with their complete delegations as usual. The sun was back at the time of the ceremony, and it became a very colorful parade of uniforms and flags into the huge tent... (more)
Did you know that British 8-way team Just M8S is wearing orange T-shirts? posted: Aug 28th, 2025 The Qatar Falcons were back in training on Thursday morning after a break, together with their coach Jeremie Rollett. The Falcons are expected to win the 8-way competition at Skydive Teuge, which would bring the first FAI gold medals to Qatar.
The NSL News has mentioned Qatar's delegation several times in the past as a new powerhouse in formation skydiving competition, and the potential 8-way gold medals at the outdoor world cup would be the new peak in the progression. The 19.0 average at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2024 was the highest meet average for the Falcons and was rewarded with... (more)
