It was a 3 days conference with lots of questions and answers where there were problems with planning in training prior to world championships and also issues with countries that need to apply for visa before entering Europe. 
Representatives from various countries
And most importantly, we made friends and close relationships with chief coaches and general secretaries of various countries. All thanks to Mr Ralph Mouchbahani from Germany for organising this special conference for interested participants. Singapore representative involved in one of the topics was Mr Veeramani, Technical Director for SAA. And I am honoured to be representing under SAA to sit in the conference.
I personally feels that gathering like this is really important, it brings coaches and officials together and establish contacts for future collaborations. At least I benefited from these gatherings and whenever it is possible, there will be chances to conduct and organise a training camp or a sparring session with their local teams in their countries.
Anyway, lets hope there will be more than 1 athlete to qualify to the World Championships in Berlin this August. Good Luck Singapore!!
