J-Cup Jülich

On the move again last weekend!!!

It was very sweltry in the natatorium, overcrowded with athletes and their ... relatives (parents, grandparents, siblings etc. :-)))

Y Chi won a bronze medal of 200m backstroke. There were over 30 girls of the age group 1999.

There will be more girls next week at the regional competition in Cologne (long course = olympic-size swimming pool). It will be hard to win a medal. Remember the Olympic spirit ? GO FOR GOLD :-)))

(P.S: I think it was: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.")

Anyway, Y Chi had fun (she met her kindergarten's friend, she has lost the contact for long time). Or may be not ? We've never asked her about it :-))) Kids unter 18 years old have no right, no opinion, nothing, niet, null :-)))))))))))))))))) Just ... obeying :-)))))))))))))
