Just a few thoughts
The World Cup season may have paused, but there’s still lots of comp action. The European Championships are underway, the Canadian stop on the North American Cup Series is next week, and right after the Youth World Championships come to Dallas. We wish the best to all the athletes, organizers, setters and volunteers that make it happen!
