April 30
We are here, all clubs arrived safely although not all of the luggage made it. The athletes had a light workout on Tuesday evening at a local gym. Everyone did well getting adjusted to the time differences and had a good workout. On Wednesday morning we went on two sightseeing tours. We visited the castle in Bolcow and a museum for trains. Both were very interesting & the kids enjoyed themselves. We are scheduled to train at the competition hall this afternoon and look forward to Thursday.

The athletes had an opportunity to train at the competition hall. Each pair/group ran strong routines along side the Ukraine team. As each day progresses towards competition, the athletes look more confident.
