Good night and welcome to Michelle's Blog!! I am excited to say that yesterday morning was crushing, because of my awakening (6:00)! I brushed my teeth and got ready to go as I pondered the excitement of waking up at such an early hour, THERE IS NONE!! But we left anyways, we walked the excruciatingly long walk (2 min) to the bus stop at the end our street. We then took the bus till we reached the Canada Line stop and we hopped on the Line!!! We travelled all the way to the other end (waterfront) and guess what?? I stood the whole time and almost fell asleep standing! YAWN YAWN YAWN YAWN! Then finally we arrived at the Waterfront Station and then we got on a boat called the sea bus, even though my eyelids wanted to shut I took in the ah-mazing sites. Finally we were on the shuttle, which I took the chance to read which was extremely stupid of me when I could have slept. We could not see anything out the windows because of the fog and rain. When we got off the bus it was another 2-km walk then 250 stairs seriously 250 stairs up the mountain.
It was still raining, cold and foggy. We finally made it to our seats and when I sat in my seat I had to ask "where's the hill?" And I'm serious you couldn't see a thing. The event was delayed for 2 hours. Then YEAH, the fog started to clear up and I realized that what I thought was the hill was really the half pipe and that the hill was next to it! At first some of the athletes failed, they fell and they fell, Maelle Ricker was disqualified in her first run. The second round, now, the second round was ah-mazing seriously Maelle came in 3rd place. Then the excitement started to grow, 4 snowboarders raced down the hill, Maelle getting a terrifico head start, yes I added an o to terrific it makes it sound cool. Yipee Yipee Yipee Yipee Canada won another GOLD medal
Maelle got terrific head starts to both races and won, Yipee Yipee!!! It was soooo much fun and I even forgot that I got up sooooo early! After that we headed down the stairs and halfway down the mountain (heehee lol), to catch the shuttle bus to Lonsdale. Then onto the SEABUS to catch the 135 to The Pacific Coliseum to see the mens figure skating (short program). Let me just say it was boring compared to the excitment that had occured just 2 hours before!!! The skating was still awesome and Weir was a DIVA like seriously who ends a skating performance blowing a kiss to the audience, the women don't even do that!! No offence to any Weir lovers!!
Mardi Gras called- they want their sequins back! I wonder what the male snowboarders would look like in the men's skating outfits?? It'd be a whole new event!
