Arrival - MADRID, SPAIN


A bus took us from the airport to Alcobendas where the 3x3 Tournament will be held.  We are staying at the Arturo Hotel, which is one of two that all the teams are housed at.  We checked in and an hour later had lunch in the restaurant.  After lunch both teams walked to the 3x3 venue for practice.  We are fortunate to be able to walk from our hotel to the venue in about 15 minutes.  At 8:30 pm (20:30 as they say here) we all reported for a meeting with FIBA explaining again all the rules and how things will work.  We ate supper at 21:00 in the restaurant.  Lights out at 23:00 for the players and it wasn’t a problem because everyone is TIRED from the time change and travel.
