Cheering on one of our wax techs, Oleg.

Tonight was the opening night of the World Cup races here in Otepää. The festivities kicked off with a sprint relay with countries represented by not their athletes but by the team staff. The U.S. was represented by Andy Fecteau (Bend, OR, Physical therapist), Tony (Seattle, WA, USST vip), and Oleg (Estonia, Wax Tech). They didn't win (the Norwegian team did) but they still skied really hard and I think this was Tony's third time on classic skis so they did quite well. It was fun to have all of the athletes on the sidelines cheering for once, not just from our team but the other teams as well.
