Thank you for sharing the lovely photos. Lucky you to have gone.

Thanks I am VERY lucky to have had the opportunity to go. It was only because I have a friend who emigrated to the US (a 70 minute drive from the games) that I could afford to go... It was an amazing week

Thanks Booboos. I'm really happy as all the photo's were taken on my little casio digital camera ! I never realised how hard it is to take photo's of moving targets before !

I thought Nathalie did an amazing job and Digby looked fantastic.

I agree, I did like Digby, they produced a fluent display The other combination who impressed me was Laura B & Mistral Hojris. She came into the arena just as they announed Steffen Peters and Ravel's score (that put them into the lead at the time). Well as you can imagine the home crowd went wild which upset "Alf". Laura remained calm and rode out of her skin with great feel to produce a cracking test for 82.511% which wasn't far off Edward Gal's and Totilas's winning score of 84.043% Way to go Laura !

The Arena on Wednesday... Seems the over priced tickets kept a lot of people away... Though those seats were incredibly uncomfortable ! As we found out on the Friday night (Kur) when the place was nearly full...
