Re: Indoor Good. She needs a break of some sort. Endless year-round games will make her more vulnerable to injury and burnout.
Birgit Definitely Needed A Break I'm glad as well to hear that Birgit skipped this tournament. It is good that she is at least getting a little time off before the Four Nations Tournament in China.
