Olympic Village


Well, after the jet lag and busy training schedule has calmed down i finally have a bit of time to talk to you guys! Also there are rules to follow on an Olympic blog which i had to brush up on before i published this. Well i suppose you want to know what it is like here in the Olympic Village? Well in a word; Amazing! If you want a sentence; it is just absolutely fantastic with a cherry on top! We have the best apartment in the village over looking the harbour of false creek and all of down town, seeing BC stadium and the science museum. It is just perfect, with the weather great so far too.

Training is good, first few days with jet lag were hard but its tarting to ease off now. We start our official practices today and have a tough group so today is going to be interesting. Also a big problem is the food hall, with a massive selection of great food all prepared and ready for you 24 hours a day it will be very easy to spend most my days just eating. I will try my best not to let this happen. On that note, were off too breakfast, speak soon

Last minute checks!




Olympics, that’s what we work for and every 4 years it splendours our lives for a short while. We have prepared the best we can and now is our time to enjoy the moment. We had quite a successful last few competitions, with clean skates a the British giving us a 5th senior title and winning the joint Polish Nationals. Europeans was hard after missing the spin in the short but we put up a brave long and finished in 11th. Maybe if it had gone to plan we could of been 7th or 8th but that’s sport and nobody remembers the if, buts and maybes, were all just on a knife edge with competition extremely tight. This season has also shown great excitement in the old masters coming back to the sport just for Olympic glory and showing great form. One thing is for certain, we are all in for a really good show!

Tomorrow we fly and so we check and double check the packing, look at the travel plans again and make sure everything is organized. There has been so much snow here in Poland that we need to get the train to catch our flight as the road to Warsaw is dangerous at the best of times. When we arrive I will try my best to keep up to date most days with the blog, if i get in to a routine it shouldn't be so hard now should it.

Until tomorrow people!

Our Olympic Season!!!

The Start to our Season 08/09
