It is fun to watch my hometown host the Olympics but I’m sure it would be way more fun to be at home right now. I was talking to my Mom and sister on the phone yesterday and they mentioned how they got to meet Alexandre Bilodeau, the olympic athlete to win Canada’s first gold medal of these games. while they were downtown.
I haven’t really watched much of the olympics on TV. I think NBC’s online coverage is much better than their TV coverage. My favourite sports that I have watched so far are Speedskating and Snowboarding. I think it is fun to watch how fast those athletes go – those must be some of the best fat burner sports.
Sariah and Rebekah enjoyed watching the Pairs figure skating. They love to watch ballets and ballroom dancing on youtube so I knew they would like it. It was so cute to watch them try to copy the figure skaters.

Yes, it was pretty cool seeing Alexandre downtown, we also saw Maelle Ricker get her gold medal at BC place yesterday.

NBC must have pulled it off youtube because none of the videos work even if I search for it.
