European championship in Ukraine September 2009

Skrevet av Ingrid den 15.09.2009

Yesterday evening we (the Norwey team as they call us here) arrived Hotel River in Nikolajev. Lotte and me were tired from the flight but very happy Max did not take us here by his bus (he loves to drive). It took us about 3 hrs to get rooms (!), when we finally got the room it was nice (but they only have TV channels talking Ukraine). After dinner (protein powder and cereals) we did some jogging outside and we went to bed early.

Up very very early, 05.45 (but 04.45 in Norway time) to loose some weight. I only had 0.6 kg so that was piece of cake for a sweating person as me. Lotte was in weight. After sweating 30 minutes we went to the weigh in, had breakfast and then some sleeping. Max and Robert were on the drawing. As some of you probably know the drawing is important because if you loose you’re out, so we really want a good drawing.

Drawing:
In 57 kg there are 15 boxers. In the first match I will meet a girl from Romania. I have not met her before and I don’t know much about her. This fight will be tomorrow at the evening pass. If I beat her I will meet Martzia from Italy. I have met her before: in the first match in last European champ and I beat her with 1 point. She is southpaw and she box defensive (I don’t like those guys). This will be a tuff match. Then it’s the Russian in the semifinal. It was not the best drawing but if you going to win you have to beat the best.

Lotte will meet Klara today. She is Swedish and since we have spent a lot of time in head of this competition in Sweden they know each other well. Klara is taller then Lotte and have a good jab so Lotte have to be tight and try to double the attaches when she goes in. Klara have both silver and bronze from WC so this is a tuff opponent but Lotte is going to kick her ass later this afternoon.

Lotte won her match to day! Klara went into Lottes left hock and got knocked out in the third round. It was not nice and we hope she’s going to be alright.
