First Pictures from Olympiad

I've just now posted some photos from this afternoon's happenings. Some external shots of the venue as well as from the German team conference (given by Uwe Bonsch, Bundestrainer; Davit Lobzhanidze, Trainer A-Nationalmannschaft DamenJan Gustafsson, A-Nationalmannschaft Herren and Melanie Ohme, A-Nationalmannschaft Damen). Susan Polgar was in attendance along with Paul Truong.

It also looks like there are a few chess journos here from the various popular publications. The only problem is, I don't know who they are!

And by the way, I met up with Shaun Press and Brian Jones this afternoon, too, and a couple of Kiwi guys (Hilton Bennett and Helen Milligan). No sign yet of the Aussies. I'm going to have to crash their party wherever they are.

Click here for the photos.

Have they fled the country then?
