The European ChampionshipThe third week was the toughest but most meaningful of all. The European Championship has taken place in Saint Lo and since Coup d’envoi was the organizer, there was a lot of work to be done. A few days before the European Championship, Sernin, Thomas and I worked at the stadium, decorating it and putting up adverts. The indoor stadium is gigantic! It is similar to a full-sized football pitch except larger and indoors. After the stadium was decorated with beautiful pink paper, we started our next task, which was to set up a big tent for dining. After all the hard labor it was about time to enjoy some real Horseball. I had to admit that seeing the French Feminine team practice was extraordinary! They were very organized and their tactics were very unique.

On one of the nights of the European Championship, Coup d’envoi organized a party for all the supporters and the Horseball players. We had dinner at nine o’clock and the party started at eleven o’clock. Heavy music was playing and everyone was having fun. We were at the bar serving alcohol and oysters for the guests. There was also a part where the girls of the French National team performed on the dance floor with equally well just as they were on horseback.

During the few days of the European Championship I managed to make a lot of friends and meet relatives of Horseball, different coaches and numerous players. I saw the new Netherlands team, who has played for almost five years. They weren’t very good and they shared very many similar problems with our teams here in China. However they still managed to break through the defense and score some goals against other countries in most of their games. Some players of the Netherlands boys’ team also came to support their girls’ team, too. There was also Great Britain, who, in my opinion, had the best jerseys (blue and red). Britain managed to make it to the semi-finals, however was defeated by the Portuguese in the extra time period.
