We’ve managed to realize the tactic made for the finals and have begun very hard and have tried to keep the rest of the competitors in the safe distance. New Zealanders have pushed through to the first position in the middle of the race. During the last quarters Estonians begun to rush in and their attack created a good challenge for us to keep the second place. The second place won in Poznan restored quite some of the needed self-confidence and motivation for the rest of the work to be done before Beijing.

As we did in Luzern, we lost the heats in Poznan against currently strong connection Waddell-Cohen. We have raced the semis as we have expected, and despite some troubles in the last quarter of the line have won the Belgians.We’ve managed to realize the tactic made for the finals and have begun very hard and have tried to keep the rest of the competitors in the safe distance.
