Another successful day here in Sochi! The Canadian team figure skating finished in second place behind Russia to win another silver for Canada!
For us the day was a little more normal except for Doug who had tickets to attend the men's ski jumping in the mountains cluster. Him and Lisa worked at COH in the morning and then he embarked on his trip up the hill. Fortunately he found some friends to go with because we were worried he may get lost on his own. Stacey and Mikaela were fully expecting a call from Moscow with Doug on the other end saying he got on the wrong train. But I guess we should give him more credit as he is back home safe and sound after what sounded like an unreal night.
Stacey was on bar during the night shift and was there to witness a full house of friends and family waiting to welcome and celebrate our medalists from day one. After every medal won by a Canadian, there is a celebration at COH. This is a time for friends and family to gather as well as a chance for media to come in and speak with the athletes. And for everyone at COH they will tell you that the snowboarders and skiers know how to party.
Mikaela was at the MPC working with the Canadian media and getting ready for days to come. Since our medal was won later in the night there was no press conference to be held. The world of communications at the Olympics relies heavily on medal performances. Its can go from dead quiet to pulling an all nighter with one single event.
