Short Track Speed Skating

Short track was nuts! I loved it!!!! Our seats were pretty high -- I don't normally have a fear of heights but I do at the Coliseum. I'm terrified of falling down the super steep stairs so once I get to my seat I refuse to leave until the event is over. Then I need some Valium and someone to talk me down the steps (actually I just kept a death grip on Marshall's arm). I was also out of breath by the time I got to the top. I seriously needed a sherpa.



No, that's not a zamboni. It's an Olympia ice-resurfacer!

Yup, that's a DJ spinning.


I LOVE YOU, MUKMUK!!!!!


1000m Men's Heats

This was meant to be a picture of Charles Hamelin stepping onto the ice but I was pleasantly surprised by the shirtless German eye-candy that made it into the pic. *swoon*







Charles Hamelin set a new Olympic record. It only lasted until the next race but it was very cool to see!

This baby got so much use during speed skating.
