Today was a pretty good day, but very busy! We went to breakfast early. After breakfast we had our bags, and waiting for the taxi man downstairs. He was running 1/2 hour late! by this time it was 7.45am, and we were meant to be at the Plano WOGA at 8am, which is 1/2hr away. The taxi man went to the other holiday inn. Can you believe how many holiday inn's there are! We arrived at WOGA and packed all of our bags onto the bus, along with a few of the other International delegations. We said goodbye to Valeri, Anna, Yvgeney and some others and we got given a plauque from them, it was really nice.
The drive to oklahoma was ok. The scenery... Basically NOTHING and more NOTHING! Maddie slept for some of the time, so did alot of the girls and guys on the bus! We arrived in Norman, Oklahoma and met Bart Conner, Nadia Comaneci (did we say Nadia Comaneci ... Linden almost fainted on meeting her) and the editior of International gymnast- Paul Ziert. They were extremely welcoming and friendly. Bart and Nadia's son Dillon is so cute... what a little devil! We had lunch at the offices of International gymnast, which is right next to the BCGA- Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy.
After lunch we checked into our hotel- Embassy suites. The hotel is soooooo nice and luxurious! Norman Is so spread out though. It 's like land, then maybe one building and so on! we settled into our nice hotel and went to the gym to have a workout. :) The gym is nice, but a ittle bit more lived in than the woga gym! Training went well for maddie and ice. Isis was still feeling a little bit sick though. The Israel girls and coaches came to training today. They just flew over to US for 40hrs! they were pretty tierd.
After training we went back to our hotel and got ready for an NBA game that was organised for all of the international gymnasts by Bart, Nadia and Paul. OMG, it was amazing. We were in a suite up in one of those glass corporate boxes, but then we had a row of seats just outside that. For that night we got to know the canadians really well. They were really nice! Heaps of awesome things were organised for us that night. Suppose when It's Nadia Comaneci, you can have anything done for you! The basketball team - The thunders mascot- Rumble, came up to our suite. He scaled the fence between the seats and walked on them like a beam! It was really funny, when he was up near us he lost balance and fell right on Isis! We got pictures with him, and the rest of the international gymnasts-Ukraine, Israel and Canada. More gymnasts are arriving later this week. Isis, Maddie, Linden, Bart, Paul, Nadia, and Dillon were on the big screen! How awesome! The camera just came on us!
Ross also took a great phot of Nadia with Rumble.
Then later a few of the cheerleaders came up to the suite and we got some pictures with them and they game us some mini basketballs. Earlier in the night there was a balloon man and made us some things. It was a really good game and there was always something going on. Thunder won against Dallas Navericks. Everyone in Oklahoma was really happy! Wht a great night! More exciting things to happen during the week!
Can you believe we spent the whole night being entertained by Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner !!!!! at one point we noticed them missing and then their they are up on the Television being interviewed about the competition we are competing in this weekend.
