The Chinese female 4-way team has beaten their competition by a large margin, averaging an impressive 30.5 points. That would place them at 3rd in the mixed gender, Open World Cup, had they decided to enter that part of the competition.



That might come by surprise to many of us mere spectators, yet insiders would tell us that these ladies have been flying together since they were 14 years old, with an average of about 200 hours each year for over 10 years. In 2024 alone, they had flown over 50 hours preparing for the World Cup. 


 
The two competing Thailand teams, coached by Aerodyne's legendary Polo Grisoni, delivered a respectful 14.4 and 14.2 average for their first World Cup appearance. Aerodyne athlete Sian stokes who still holds the title of outdoor FS World champion, competed with NFTO who came second in the Female 4-way category. 


The French only had one mixed gender team competing in the 4-wayOpen category who came third at the World Cup. This result has placed them at 1stat the European championship level with Echo Chamber at a close second place. Arizona Airspeed took the overall win in 4-way open at the World cup.



The Aerodyne youngster Adrien Gallot took a bronze medal in the European championships level in Dynamic 2-way with team Eaglets.



The Solo freestyle junior category has seen 10 youngsters showing off the future of flying with Isabelle Koh from Singapore taking gold. It would great to see the junior categories grow in the other disciplines over time. 



Looking at the sports career of the French Tom Mattoni for example, it would indicate that this would be the route to go for future competitive outdoor skydiving.
