Compton likes to arrive at the venue ridiculously early. I don’t know why I let her poor judgement influence me but I do and today we were up at Shirahatayama two hours before race start (2.5hrs before Compton’s start). Since there was hard core flouro action in our wax rooms we set up shop in the hallway. Then we were beset upon by this guy, Boris Kazmin, who insisted that we come into his wax room across the hall where it was warm and spacious. He was coaching the Israeli team but was Russian and living in Russia on the Kamchatka peninsula. Or so we thought. He only spoke a few words in English and we don’t speak Russian. I found it a pretty entertaining multicultural experience. Boris was very nice and helpful, even holding our boots in front of the heater to warm them up for us before we put them on. It was fun to try and communicate with him.
