Eka will be back in action next week at a 10k in Spain, and she's in the MD
EDIT-After that, she'll play qualies at a 25k in Spain, and then play another 25k in Spain the following week, but she's on the alternates list, even though she should get in to qualifying
In a Spanish 10K, Eka plays a Swiss qualifier in the first round
In doubles with Sofia Kvatsabaia, another Georgian, they will face a Spanish WC team in the first round.
Midi!
In 25K La Palma qualies, Eka plays Jasmine Woehr in the first round. Go Eka! I like Eka and I hate Woehr
I could go on and on about how much I hate Woehr, but I just don't feel like it now
I like her, but not as Eleni's coach:spit:
