In the women’s competition, the team Anete Namiķe/Varvara Brailko had won participation in the European U-22 Championship, however, a few hours before the flight to the competition, Brailko had to refuse her participation due to health problems and instead of her, the coach chose to include Eberi in the team.
Coach Atvars Vilde went to the tournament with Fokerota/Bulgača, and Aleksandrs Solovej with the women’s pair.
The European U-22 Championship will take place in the Romanian city of Timisoara until July 29.
