2006 World Champs Opening Ceremony

Last night was the official opening of the world champs and after the speeches the CZ's put on a wonderful display of music and timed water features in their famous Krizik's Fountain. The fountain was timed to a CZ composers music and as the cresendoes built so did the water released from the fountain jets and fireworks displayed in time as well truly spectacular. Real water ballet. This was preceeded by a data show projected onto a sheet or wall of water of past World events so all the images shimmered and moved just awe inspiring. The competition is heating up with racing starting Thursday with K1M. All the athletes are looking good and now just need to do it on the day. Our young man leading the team in is the next generation of kayakers . He was 10 and spoke very good english
