Official training and team meeting.
As usual after the official practice (15 minutes on each lane) there is a meeing for all teams and coaches. It was noon today at the venue of the 2009 World Championships. The sound system was poor, so some of the information got lost. There are a lot of umpires at the championships, Swiss, Scots, Canadians and Americans, and there are a lot of volunteers working, but the organization is still sitting. The ice is not yet as fast as we expected. There is a lot of spinning and a lot of care is needed in the release. This afternoon we have the preparation for tomorrow's games and the opening banquet in the evening.
