Here is a another report from Canadian Team Leader Cathy Cadieux:

Hello Canada!

What a great experience! The Opening Ceremonies were truly awesome and enjoyed by all. From the huge tree in the middle of the stadium to the lighting of the flame to the very visible crowd of Canadian fans cheering on the team, it was a once in a lifetime experience.

We had our first practice at the rugby venue today. While I had seen it during the technical meeting, it was the first visit for the boys. They were blown away. They´ll have a chance to stretch their muscles on the court tomorrow against Germany. Our first game starts at 12:00noon, so keep an eye on the Road Journal for results when you wake up on Sunday.

More tomorrow after the Game.
