Day 19: Tessa and Scott... Need I say more?

Today was a quiet day during the day but it wasn't at night.  Mikaela was in the MPC during the day and since all of the press conferences for Jan and Dominique were the day before, it was a pretty relaxed day around the office.  This was also due to the fact that snowboard cross was cancelled and other events postponed during the day.  Stacey was at COH during the day and Doug was recovering after a fun time the night before. 

After work, Mikaela once again headed over to CBC to help input all of the athletes who could potentially medal and come through for interviews for the following day.  They all require guest passes to the IBC and someone has to put them all in, by 6pm.  Let the time crunch begin!  After being at CBC, Mikaela and one of the other volunteers at the MPC headed back over to figure skating for the free ice dance program.  Once again on media tickets and once again getting all the way through.  And with better seats than the night before.  We were right in the lower bowl on the rail and had a great view of all of the skaters.  It was out of this world.  The skaters were even better than the night before especially the Canadian pairs.  And when Scott and Tessa came out, the entire arena was in awe.  We didn't breathe for four minutes watching them skate.  And they did so well.  They without a doubt make Canada so proud.  All of the top three teams did very well, the Russia pair was outstanding and the crowd loved it.  At the end of the night it was great to see Tessa and Scott win the silver.  It wasn't gold but it made every Canadian in the arena and back home proud.

Lisa was also fortunate enough to go to an event.  She was working the evening shift at COH but it was pretty tired and one of the Americans from next door came over and dropped off 30 free tickets to the women's hockey quarter final.  So Lisa and a bunch of the other volunteers headed over to the arena to cheer Canada on.  And the women won as well.  They beat the Swiss 3-1 to move into the semi-finals.  It was a successful day for everyone and a great way to end it all off.  Only 6 more days until the Olympics are over, crazy how time flies.  But it's not over yet and the last few days are going to be the busiest and most exciting for us!
