Today was a rough day for team USA. Matches began at 10am,
and
although there were some outstanding performances and very
close
matches the results did not go our way. We found a California
Pizza
Kitchen for dinner and ate well in preparation for our matches
tomorrow. We look forward to getting back out there tomorrow
and
OWNING that consolation.

We had another action packed day in Hong Kong but this time
it took
place at the squash courts. Team USA is off to a strong start
with
six out of the eight girls advancing to the next round. The
support
from the girls (and parents) was a sight to see; everyone
was
extremely optimistic, patriotic, and had a great attitude.
(See match
results below). After the matches, we headed to the Kowloon
Cricket
Club for the opening ceremony. Each team dressed in their
track
suits (we developed a newfound appreciation for our Harrow
warm-ups). Our team took tons of pictures with other squads
before
everyone headed to the main seating area for the official
ceremony. There were a few speeches followed by a brief Chinese
dance/magic show. The ceremony finished with a few refreshments
outside and then the team had a nice diner at the cricket
club with
the parents.

There's not much to report from Tuesday. We practiced and
rested up
for the start of the individual tournament. Of note, we finally
found great Chinese in a vibrant section of town near our
hotel. After 10 days of bonding and build up the team is ready
to
compete and cheer each other on!
GO USA!
