We had a great first day at the Ruhpolding races!! We parked near the Zentrum (Center) of Ruhpolding and took a shuttle to the Chiemgau Arena. We were in the Grandstand, in the Standing Section. We were looking at the Shooting Range, looking straight down lane 9, and we were able to see the finish line.
The Canadians had mixed results, but all-in-all a great day!
The Range area was in the shade, so the light in the photos was not great.
Between the Men’s Sprint and the Women’s Sprint we wandered around… beer huts, food huts, tons of people! Lots of languages; many speak some, or even lots, of English.
And, amazingly, we bumped into Scott and Christian during their cool-down!
I had great fun watching the people watch Brian!!! All the way from funny faces to “I want a photo with you”!! 😃 At €5 each, he coulda made €125+ from photos!!!😂 And those are only the photos we know about! 🤣 He stayed nice and warm though!
We enjoyed “Currywurst Mit Frites” (sausage with a mild curry sauce and fries) for lunch.
And, GLÜHWEIN!! 😀 This time Weiß Glühwein (with white wine) … it was good! Not as flavorful as the red, but very good!
A couple more pics from between the races…
I was able to get a couple okay pics of “the kids” in the range. I couldn’t get Scott and Christian in prone, cuz they chose the lane that had a speaker in my line of sight. 😂
We stopped at the Supermarket (grocery store) on our way ‘home’ after the races… found the ingredients for fixing our own glühwein (red)!!!!! 😄
We finished our day with Scott and Christian and Emma and their teammates for supper at Hotel Post. We had a great visit!!! Sorry, I forgot to take a pic…again! 🙁
