JWOC Team selections overseas

Browsing through some websites I am finding that more and more JWOC teams are being named. Our good friends and rivals from Australia have just finished a re-selection for their boys team after a protest. No changes were made so they still have their original 12.

Denmark and Great Britain have named teams in the last week, some familar faces in both teams, both countries are sending 12.

The Swiss have also just had selection races. With the Italian terrain so similar to Switzerland they are sure to be one of the top contenders for titles this year.

Our neighbours from the accommodation last year in Sweden, the Germans, have also announced their team. Smaller than our team again with 3 girls and 5 boys.

Seeing the other teams is making the event seem so much closer and providing some powerful additional motivation on the cold wet NZ days. It's now only 3 weeks until the first two of us (Greta and I) head over to Italy.
