California North Referee Administration (CNRA) organised a special meeting with the American referees at the London Olympics last summer.

Tim Weyland, State Director of Instruction for CNRA, speaks with Kari Seitz, Veronica Perez and Marlene Duffy.

The refereeing trio als posted their stories during the Olympics in their Journal of the soccer referees representing the USA at the London Olympic Games 2012. For Kari Seitz it was her third consecutive appointment for an Olympic tournament.

The trio got the opening match and a quarter final, but was send home afterwards – the US team reached the final. The team was disappointed, but had many good experiences. “We’ve loved every minute of the games and we owe a large part of that to your support”, they say on their blog.

Part three of this video series with Olympic referees contains questions from the Californian referees. I haven’t seen it yet (will do tomorrow), but it could be interesting too.
