Hi, This is my first post over here. I've been to several international championships (as a photographer or spectator) and I'm just back from Madrid. The organisation was the worst I've ever seen. On arrival, the ticket office was closed (during the matches!!!). After a while we got our pre-ordered tickets. No-one could tell exactly where the main entrance was. We had to wander through dark corridors to find out that the matches already started. The security guys were horrible: players, photographers, officials, ... everyone complained. At the end of the day there was never a schedule for the next day. But enough of this: here are some pics. Not my normal pics because I was in the public (I wanted to see some matches again...). Biggest upset was that my favourite player, Mette Schjoldager, was injured and not participating... http://d-eye.be/portfolio/thumbnails.php?album=40 Other badminton pics: http://www.d-eye.be/portfolio/index.php?cat=2 I'm still working on the pics of the European Championships (more action shots...)
