"Well lots has gone on here in Kazakhstan over the last couple of days. Yesterday was the official arrival of the rest of the teams. A record 116 countries will compete in this world championships so you can imagine how many different languages and cultures are around. Yesterday morning us Australians did more interval running and then sparred amongst ourselves in the afternoon. We trained at a larger gym yesterday afternoon, I think its the official training centre while the World Championships are on.
It was crazy in there, at least 15 to 20 different nations in there at the one time, all training hard, all speaking different languages and making heaps of noise. It was almost a standoff between all the teams in regards to who was going to intimidate everyone else the most with how they trained, how hard they could hit a bag or how quick they could shadow box. Speaking for myself and the rest of the Australian team this didnt really phase us. We know what we have to do, we know we are well prepared and when the fights start, no one will care about who impressed in the gym."
"But it was definitely a scene to see in that gym yesterday afternoon."
"Today we have light training session with a short run and some shadow boxing, then the rest of the day off. Ive got no injuries at all, and our only concern for the rest of the day will be making the weight for tomorrow. The draw will be out tomorrow afternoon, so ill keep everyone updated."
