I have just seen mens practice. Along with yesterday practice, Brian had some troubles with his quad combo, but he wasnt very forcing it. He didnt looked too relaxed, he was sometimes upset, which I dont think is that bad, because when he seems too relaxed usually he screws up.

Michal had good practice yesterday but not so good today - as for Tomáš, hard to predict, he landed his jumps and seemed having fun but you can never know if he really feels THAT great as he pretends to.

Im veeeery curious about the competition. When leaving for Bern, I thought that it really doesnt matter in which place Brian finishes, the important thing is that he is satisfied with his skating. But probably if he is satisfied with his skating, it will be a podium place.

As for the arena - it is terribly cold. Like incredibly absolutely terribly cold. Practice rink is okay, it is heated (although some skaters complained, because those tubes blow hot air right on the ice and Zoltán Kelemen told me that if it blows it right mid-jump, they got really confused and dont know if they have to open the jump or what...), but main rink - Im a bit afraid how Ill bear a whole day there. Until now I mainly went sightseeing (pics on facebook), so I dont really know how I can cope with sitting in cold for all day long.
