Ray Barton's Notebook

These notes about the results of European A Championship are from Ray Barton (Ray_Barton@ccm.isw.intel.com) of Great Britain:

LATVIA is relegated to Pool B and will be replaced by RUSSIA.

Look out Pool A, Russia are well prepared, and I don't think Finland's dominance will last out when they arrive. They have spent 4 years training in preparation for Pool B and have their sights set on the Olympics. They were Training & Living together for 5 days a week 52 weeks a year for that time, and are a female equivalant of the Big Red Machine.
