thanks Brandon! i received the visa tuesday afternoon and had to lose 7 pounds(cause of stop dieting for losing my hopes in participation) till wednesday night during near a day long trip (last 3 pounds in hotel shower at 1am in thursday morning).
i dont regret i made it but it would have been much better if i was able to eat for 3 days after weigh in instead of 1 day.my team mates arrived to vegas on sunday and got used to for 10 hours of time difference while i slept only 3-4 hours and woke up at 1am in the morning on the competetion days.
i know sounds like excuses but ...
anyways,i am happy that i made it!
with left i flashed my team mate who took 3. but lost on re-starts with elbow fouls while in winning positions-then had to pull Khassanov only 2 mins later at b side.
with right i lost to Zoloev and Tsakhilov who won 1. and 3 . places.
i am not upset about my performance when judging by the conditions that i had..

i know sounds like excuses but ... anyways,i am happy that i made it! Nobody doubts you Engin. I personally think it says alot about your character competing under those circumstances.

I'm glad you made it too Engin, I talked to you for a minute but didn't introduce myself (a little starstruck I guess) I'm not sure if you knew it was me or not.

Next time we'll chat more. trust me that jetlag was so terrible that i felt destroyed,i only got used to on monday i came to casablanca after 1am but did not know if there were still some people at the party. i do not plan to compete in US anytime soon but if you can make WAF Kazakstan then hope to see you there.

I regret not having been there to see you. Maybe this will mean you can come over more often! Was Haydar not there?

we would have loooong religious discussions with you for sure i do not plan to visit US anytime soon and if i do then it would be with my family. Haydar does not train any more as masters title does not satisfy him as the senior titles that he has won in the past.he may start to compete again just to be part of the family.

I'm sorry that I didn't see you at the worlds. I begining to think that I'm walking around with my eyes wide shut to make things even worst, I think we were on the same motor coach to the airport in Vegas. I wanted to trade shirts or jackets with you, prehaps if I make the team in 2011we can exchange in Kazakstan. Congratulations on your World championship! Happy Seasons my friend. AG
