Expert network: organising the 2023 Skydiving Championships in Norway

It was over dinner back in 2018 - at the 1st FAI European Indoor Skydiving Championships at VossVind wind tunnel in Norway - that Andreas Hemli, Trude Sviggum and Hans Christian Amlie conspired to put in a bid to host the FAI European Artistic Events and Formation Skydiving Championships and World Cups. Their bid was successful, and the FAI Skydiving Commission (ISC) entered the competition in the calendar for 2021. Planning began in earnest, but in 2020, Covid struck.
