After the third playing day the organizers of the super tournament decided to give the participants some rest to gain strength for the remaining four rounds. But the day off in the “North Urals Cup” means active leisure.
On their way to the river-side ceremony: Natalija Pogonina, Anna Muzychuk,
Marie Sebag, Antoaneta Stefanova, Anna Ushenina (covered), Koneru Humpy, Xu
Yuhua and Pia Cramling.
During the day all participants joined the Russian tradition to throw coins into the water for the possibility to come back to the place they like. Now coins from eight different countries were added to the river Turya. And the girls were glad that it will let them come to the hospitable Ural land again.
At the river Anna Ushenina throws in her coin (with Natalija, Anna Muzychuk,
Marie and Pia watching)

A bit later all participants and guests were invited to the banquet to the restaurant “Yasa” where real fun began.
