The aircraft from the U.S. with John Robert Holden on board landed at the airport Sheremetyevo at 10.20. Almost immediately Holden went to USH CSKA to catch the Team Russia photo session, which was moved from yesterday because of playmaker’s delay. Holden tried a new team’s jersey and with visible pleasure talked to CSKA rookie Alexander Kaun. After that he answered the questions from our site.
David Blatt said that you have not been able to return from Mexico in time. What happened?
- We were on a vacations there with my daughter and a girlfriend. But there were storms on the day of departure over the Gulf of Mexico, and our flight to Atlanta was delayed.
How are you feeling after the flight?
- Excellent. Actually I used to this travels so the process of acclimatization will be short. I am confident that after a day or two I will be ok.
Ready to join the practices immediately?
- Yes. But tonight I will rest, and tomorrow morning we fly to Italy for another practicing session.
