    Thank you for the updates. Question: the next meet for the women is supposed to be some Swiss Cup as Alexandrov's recently stated. Do you happen to know anything more about it?

    Hi, this is a tri meet between teams representing Russia, GBR and Switzerland and takes place on the 20th April. No news as to teams yet. As soon as I hear anything solid I will post.
    That will be the last comp before Euros and then I guess Euros will be our main chance to see the girls before Olympics. Pray they can all stay healthy and train fully for London ...
