Yesterday was a rainy day, but it cleared up around noon for a few hours, enough time to hold the flying 200m qualification for the men’s match sprint and the first few rounds of match sprint competition. Michael S (no comment) and Satoshi I (12.458sec, 25th place) completed the 200m, but did not place among the top 18 who qualified in what was a very fast qualification round.

The rain set in again around 4pm and it has been raining ever since. The remnant of hurricane Ivan have finally reached Pennsylvania, and many parts of the village are flooded, as is the track. As of right now, we are scheduled to continue competition at noon and failing that at 6pm. The weather service says that the rain should clear up later in the day, but it is somewhat doubtful. Right now we’re just sitting in a bagel place and having breakfast, waiting for the rain to stop.
