(round 7 is no slouch either). 24 and 25+ averages through 7 rounds. WOW - This tolls the beginning of the season for Sinapsi and Fire.... ...

skykittykat 0 #7 March 19, 2006 That was bloody amazing!!! Glad to see Natasha is recovered from her injury and has come back in fighting form. Sinapsi are doing awesome, but howcome they got 42 points on that fast round - did they brainlock or did they get NJ's???? Kurt, we need to see the judgeing sheets It is great to see that in the top 3 teams, each team has a woman competitor. As a prelude to Germany, I think that in Gold, Silver and Bronze there will be a woman standing on each podium in the Open Class (USA, NORWAY, ITALY - in no particular order). Being Devil's Advocate.... If this happens, would this be the beginning of the end for the Women's Class? I've always had the view that if there was a kick ass all female team out there that chose to compete in the Open Class rather than the Women's Class, they could become the all out Champions. Rather than focusing on, say, an 18 point average to win the gold in the Women's class, why not aim for the 22+ average which will put you in contention to win the Open class at a World Meet - why limit your team because of gender? In fact, there is more motivation involved in becoming the first female only team (inc the camera flyer) to win the Gold at a World Meet in the Open Class. Just a thought.....

You guys, I thought this thread was about 4 great skydivers breaking a new record. Not about, "Yay, girls are great". Why not just treat great skydivers as great skydivers and stop being caught up on whether they are men or women? It really shouldn't matter in this sport - as we can see all over the place. ...

rehmwa 2 #11 March 19, 2006 And even more so, Natasha was injured, only just returned, little practice and still turned in a great performance. That's something special. Kind of like Ian breaking the arm last year. ...

skykittykat 0 #12 March 19, 2006 QuoteAnd even more so, Natasha was injured, only just returned, little practice and still turned in a great performance. Totally. That's what blew me away when I first saw their score - Deland Fire is quality. Looking at the scores for Round 7 - the 37 by Sinapsi and the 35 by Fire were not too shabby either!!!

Ron 10 #13 March 19, 2006 The scores in the other rounds bother me a bit. Even with a world record, they still lost 12 points over the other 9 rounds.

You don't just focus on what average it takes to win, you focus on doing your absolute best! I don't think anyone would be totally happy winning with a performance that is below what they are capable of. That should be the same for any team, regardless of the gender.

UKFSChick 0 #15 March 20, 2006 Yeah but hang on a second here Sparky...why DON'T we just aim to do a 22 average? Why bother with all the messiness of going through the 'teens'? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #16 March 20, 2006 I agree with Ron, Fire is a great team and posted an awesome score, but they still have a long way to go for the world meet, and Sinapsi's score proved that.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
