Btw, can't promise to keep doing MB pics next to site ones, but for now we thought it would be nice. More arena news": The screens were in use today, and the catering was also opened now. And it was more "crowded" in the arena. Non-skating news: Service at Ibis sucks!

Hi everyone ! Got here with the same train as Mishin.We didn't see him getting of the train in Bern and was thinking of when he and Plush went to the wrong direction in Sweden some times ago. It is easy to get to the arena. The practice I attended was very empty of skaters however the practice rink is somewhat heated. The main rink is like sitting outside... literally...there are blankets you can borrow. I bought a scarf with a skater on nice. The food is great so far at the arena way better than others I have have been to. On the way back to the hotel I took the same tram Chiper and Jamal Othman.

Hmm ok.. need to catch up on what happened I guess? Well, Jorik won prelimenaries, which.. YAY. He was awesome. The guy from Monaco, Kim Lucine was great as well, he is such a cheerful skater! And technically good too, as you can see since he came second. Joyce constantly thinks that the spanish ice dance couple are Italian, because they skate on "be Italian". Belgium is doing great, Ira Vannut won her prelimenaries. So cute, afterwards she said to us "but i didn't mean to win!! Wanted to make it to the SP"... of course she meant didn't expect to, and that making it to the SP was her goal, but it came across real funny. Unfortunately the Dutch girl Manouk Gijsman withdrew, at the morning practice she fell and didn't get up and the paramedics had to be brought in to get her off the ice. She is walking on crutches now. There was loud applause for Romy Bühler. Perhaps the kids that were sitting on next level? Kinda nice actually, it is a shame there is so little audience, I feel for the skaters. It seemed like there was more audience at the training rink in the evening. But then again, there it is actually warm. Did go to 2 groups of men practice but bit blanked out on details... Hope Emjo and Lena have some more training bits for you.

Mens practice was the best ! Last group was great! Adrian S looks better here than at nationals. No kristoffer ....as usual but he and Vicky arrived today. Brian look superb all over. Tomas and Anton made a unison bow after practice. The last group had a relaxed atmosphere. Some of the main rinks skaters came to watch the mens practice. Todays Mishin:Met Mishin again today who wondered where is the entrance for the skaters.... Maria Lena
