Laszlo's fencing Hall

Not too long time, the fencing hall will be ready in Maiden Castle (Durham University Sport Centre) After waiting for 15 years, Laszlo' s dream is coming through that we are going to have proper fencing hall in Northeast England. It will be the place just for fencing that we can train properly and we can build up the new fencer generation in North East.

Now the progress is Ok and it will be ready in September.

Paralympic 2008

This year 2008, there has been Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing. Today is the third day that Laszlo has been in Beijing for Paralympic Games. His student, Lee Fawcett will compete on 14th Sep 08. It was the big event. Laszlo was in the Opening ceremony but I saw the opening ceremony on the TV. It was great and both I and Laszlo agreed that it was the best opening ceremony what China had made the world happy with fantacy and elegancy of the power to announce the world that China can do everything.

The bird nest stadium, performance, these all came from human work who love their country and want to proud of China. I do not think we will be able to see such a great performance like this.

On the day when the opening ceremony would taken place, I had a chance to talk to Laszlo and he said the weather was so grey. Next day when I spoke to him he said there was thunder strom about 4.00 am in the morning. On the same day he told me that he had a chance to talk with the volunteer, she said that on the opening ceremony, there had have the process to move the rain away from Beijing because they need dry weather to have the performance. Laszlo said on that day he saw lots of helicopter on the sky wandering over the stadium and around Beijing.

Today, Laszlo had to keep Lee to practice and training before the competition on this Sunday. Lots of hard work. I hope both of them will be success in this competition. It has been such a long preparation for 4 years in order to participate in this game. Lee started to work with Laszlo since 2004 after Athens Olympic Games. In 2004 Laszlo was coaching David Heaton to compete in Athens and he came last 8.

Getting the medal is not easy but if someone work hard, they will be there.

We shall see.................
