Back from Russia by Fulvio Fantoni

Hi all
Slava Cup ended with an only good news: on my way back I could find my luggage… (which was lost on my arrival).
Unfortunately this year we could not succeed in winning the tournament for the third time in a row.
Congratulations to Netherlands (Sjoert Brink, Berend Van De Bos, Sebastiaan Drijver, Jiris Van Lankveld, Herman Drenkelford), winner in Russia.
