Team GB 2006 was the largest
team we have fielded in international competitions - 7 female
fighters, 6 male fighters, 3 coaches and 4 officials (including
2 from France). The team travelled by Eurostar to Paris, then
caught the RER to Villebon. After weighing-in, we were transported
to our hotel, about 10 minutes from the venue, then went out
in search of a place to eat.
