Overnight stay at Heathrow, BA flight to
Istanbul
. Extremely full transfer coach with
Bulgaria
and
Ukraine
. Long transfer – 6 hours,
including car ferry. Stayed once
again at the Hotel Agaoglu, just a short walk from the bottom of the slopes.
Wonderful opening ceremony. Note
for next year – swimming costumes essential.
The hotel has a superb new pool area.
Excellent courses this year, and
well-prepared pistes.
-
Dan Palmer - Gold in Slalom
-
Adam Gellatly - Bronze in Slalom
-
'TJ' Baldwin - Silver in Slalom
-
Ellie Dalton - Silver in GS
-
Sophie 4th place in GS -
unlucky to miss out on bronze by only 0.08 sec.
We were delighted to win 2nd
place in the Boys’ competition, and 3rd Overall, behind
Bulgaria
and
Yugoslavia
.
We again spent most of the last day in
Istanbul
, visiting the Blue Mosque, Yeren Batan (the underground water palace), a
traditional tea garden and various markets. The main covered bazaar was
closed (Sunday). The girls enjoyed a Turkish bath, whilst the boys drank
apple tea with traditional Turkish music and dancing (with
participation!). We stayed overnight in a hotel in Sultanahmet - the
'Obelisk and Sumengen' - and arranged a coach transfer to the airport the
following morning.
I couldn’t fault the effort and
enthusiasm, and indeed behaviour, of all team members at all times.
Many thanks to the two trainers – they worked extremely hard both on and off
the hill to ensure the best possible results for the team.
