The Richmond Olympic Oval - it's a beautiful facility . . .
Shannon Rempel skating in the Ladies' 1000m Final . . .
This camera is very cool - you might spot it on TV sometimes - it runs on a track all the way around the rink so it can follow the skaters . . .
Christine Nesbitt - she was in one of the last pairs . . .
. . . and crossed the line 2 hundredths of a second ahead of Annette Gerritsen of the Netherlands who was the leader at the time! The crowd went crazy!
She would end up with a Gold medal after Kristina Groves skated for Canada in the last pair - Kristina missed winning a Bronze medal by 6 hundredths of a second!
The flower ceremony was held in the middle of the carpeted area you can see in my first photo and it was facing sideways, so my best photo opportunity was to take one of the screen!
A self-portrait of me and my sister, Ellena. We didn't see him in the crowd, but saw on the screen that Richard Branson (billionaire adventurist and owner of the Virgin brand) was in attendance also!
