IDBF Worlds, Szeged, Hungary: Day 4

by Jill Metz

Bronze is Beautiful, Baby!
Our second day of racing took us to the Olympic Centre Race Course on the outskirts of Szeged.  What a great racing venue with permanent structures for athletes to wait and rest in between heats that overlooks the racecourse.  It was a full day of 1,000 meter races.  By the time my team had arrived at the venue late morning, James had already finished his heats and had just missed the podium by one place.  Lisa, Carol and I all earned bronze medals with only a few seconds separating those on the podium in both Sr. A and B categories.. I snapped this photo of the flags at the podium ceremony for Sr. A women although the flags at the women's Sr. B ceremony were identical.  We continue to chase Canada and Australia and are visualizing GOLD for Team USA!
