(I gave it to them after FD practice on Saturday), but - they actually had some kind of media interview on the concourse when I was leaving fir something to eat (lol) and Yuka sat with the crown on her head 
, so I waited the interview to be over and approached them to apologise to Juho for lack of his own crown. And to widh them all the best in FD
