          Yes, Omar's assignment just finished, he was in
          Hall 2, he saw Victor, Vlad, Aris and the Women’s Team.
          He's exhausted, on the shuttle back to his hotel (30 min
          away), will be able to update us later:)

            Getting visas was a nightmare for Canadians who did not have alternate passports. One of our players, Rachel Chen, is still waiting for a visa. I made it to the first round but an intestinal malady forced me to keep a low profile on days two and three. Tomorrow the Congress begins.
