Women's World Championship

Ekaterinburg (in Russian with a "Y") is located 1500 km east
of Moscow
Women's Junior World Champion Elisabeth Pähtz preparing for the Big
One in her home in Erfurt, Germany
Getting to Ekaterinburg on a German Wings plane
On the long journey to the Women's World Championship
With colleagues on the plane
Arrival in Russia with daddy, who happens to be a Grandmaster and her most
important trainer
Good grief, it's winter, and we are in Eastern Russia!
Where we are going to stay for who knows how long
Posing...
...in front of one of the many monumental statues in Ekaterinburg
They are everywhere, and usually very inspiring
The central square
The central shopping street in Ekaterinburg
In the city, on a cold winter's day
Souvenirs to buy, pins and medals
Or paintings, aquarelles, etchings
There is something for every taste
Even racy woodcuttings depicting Russian sauna scenes
Don't worry, dear, I'll be here to look after you
