Opening Ceremonies

The ceremony took place in front of the "Golden Roof" in Innsbruck's historic Old Town.

Last night all of the teams got on buses at the track and were brought down into the old part of the city in Innsbruck. We did the whole walking in thing and waved our flag and listened to some speeches in German. It was a bit chilly standing outside so we were grateful when we were brought inside for food and some entertainment. It's always fun when all of the countries are together because we don't get the opportunity to talk to everyone very often. While everyone was socializing some traditional dancers come on stage. They did a very traditional Austrian dance which was pretty cool. Then there were some "modern urban dancers" came on. They did some breakdancing that was pretty cool. After all of the dancing was done a guy came on and did tricks on his bike. I guess he was the world champion so it was a pretty big deal. He was really good and he got Summer up on stage and was jumping over her on the bike and stuff it was crazy. He was actually really good. After everything was said and done we all boarded the buses again and went back to our hotel. Junior World Championships have officially started.
