Italy was one of the craziest events I have attended, there was an Olympic style opening ceremony for all of the countries, a huge dinner and lots of entertainment. The people of Teolo know how to party! The race unfortunately was on a very slow track, making many skaters push from one corner to the next because of the lack of slope. The heat never let down and it was one of the hottest times I have ever skated! When it came to race day, I came in well to the first corner, to find a board of a fallen rider in my path. This sent me into the haybails, eliminating from the competition. No serious injuries, just didnt have enough time to recover from the crash to win the heat. I may have had a ton of bad luck with the past three races, but the trip in Europe has been so much fun, theres no need to grieve over losses!
