Day 3 at WSA
Morning session begun with Maria practising with another Venezuelan girl and then with an Austrian girl. Intensive training and illustrates that hard work is still needed to compete at European and world level. Most impressed with the quality of the many girls training at the academy and whereas can hold on her own we are far from European domination :-)
