Brigita left for Koper at our Adriatic coast today, where she will continue her training sessions together with her coach Jure Kastelic and colleague from our national team, Alenka Bikar.
Brigita started her intensive training session today at Ljubljana stadium and will continue to work in Ljubljana for another 3 days.
Brigita's today's decision besides a fundamental change of her training also means that she'll have to test her capabilities at an appropriate competition.
Christie masks his disappointment (506 words)
That Engquist, who beat the fast-improving Slovene, Brigita Bukovec, by a hundredth of a second (12.58sec to 12.59sec), has been worthy of the Olympic title is not in doubt.
How long that will continue is in doubt given Bukovec's progress, but for the time being Engquist, who used to compete for Russia and was world champion in 1991, takes centre stage.
There is an interesting parallel between the attitude of the Swedes, who allowed her to compete, and that of Denmark who did not facilitate the Kenyan-born Wilson Kipketer in his wish to compete in the men's 800m even though he was only a few months away from being given Danish citizenship.
