Like the last few years I returned to China again in September for the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. After the 10 hour flight I arrived at the airport of Pudong and from there we had to go 1 hour by car.
The venue for this event is extraordinary. The hotel is connected to the stadium and that makes it really easy to work for us. When u are finished with rehearsing u can get back in to the nice air conditioned hotel again.
The climate in Shanghai is really humid and the is a constant cloud above the city. This makes it really sweaty. Luckily the subways have AC as well.
Here u can see a complete overview of the stadium http://www.fussballtempel.net/afc/CHN/Shanghai.html
The Competition went pretty smooth and Monday morning we headed back to Holland again to get some fresh air again.
Results of the event can be watched at http://www.athleticsonline.info/
now I’m preparing for a weekend at Spa Francorchamp, Belgium again.
