Yay, I was posted inside again! I was at the south end of the Coliseum and watched the first half of the races. I missed the finals for the women and the qualifying for the men's relay.
Women's 500m quarter and semi finals and men's 1000m heats. Lots of crashes and some of our Canadians qualified, but we only won silver for the women's 500m; Marianne St-Gelais; we got edged out by a toe by China. Canadian Jessica Gregg got 4th and Italy got Bronze. Our other Canadain Kalyna Roberge got 6th. Gregg lost some power because of 2 bad starts in her heat with Great Britain's Sarah Lindsay edging into her lane. They both fell twice and lost some energy.
I missed the men's 5000m relay, but we qualified.
Gold medalist Jennifer Heil was in the crowd and people were asking her for photos and autographs.
Quite a short shift, as the competition is only 2.25 hrs long. Met a really cute policeman from Montreal Police, Luc. And I saw my cutie from Germany race, Tyson!
No photos today, the volunteer boss is getting more stringent on that, but how can we take photos when we're in full uniform and on break? Not possible and lots of volunteers are doing it. Just don't get caught I guess.

I was doing a websearch for news artices of my brother and came across this site. I sent the link over to Tyson and he thought it was hilarious. It's nice to hear from a spectator's view rather than the usual repetitous facts from the media.
