Joe G. was the early-to-breakfast man today and held space in the cafe for our morning seminar.
Connor and Ryan were first to present at morning seminar on their topic, "Impact of Athlete Doping Bans on Russian Sport."
Although none of the students joined Prof. Sugermeyer and me today for our morning run, the students got in a brief workout at a nearby football pitch.
Our students even made friends with a friendly Russian football player, who asked to be in our photo-op!

Only our second day in Russia, but Alex is already running low!
An added treat to attending Match 1 is the opening ceremonies that immediately precede the kick-off. While not the spectacular productions that Olympic opening ceremonies have become, they are still fun to see and hear.

Nate gets to the bottom line. Now that's what we're talking about!
Always and ever, Golden Bear was there, with Patrick, his keeper!
