Winter Ultimate Frisbee / Зимний Алтимат

Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, January 3-4 2008. The Sugrob winter frisbee tournament drew eight teams from around Russia, proving that temperatures near 0 F (-18 C ) are no obstacle to determined ultimate players.
Sunny skies and lack of wind helped to compensate for the low temperatures. Field conditions were excellent, with plenty of snow and painless layouts. Some photos can be found here. A video also appeared.
Julia Mukina, leading scorer for the Pickup team, summed up the feelings of many participants: "Thank you, comrades! For the excellent mood, for the entertaining games, and when all is said and done, for the courage -- not everyone decides when the temperature is -20 (C) to go out and play ultimate".
