(and by rinkside I mean the nosebleed section)
Skated to a medley from Carmen - great music selection!
PS - thanks to my mom for identifying all the skaters, haha. I only knew Patrick.
Yeah, yeah, I know I've been a blog slacker. I have some projects from March Break - grout colouring, kitchen painting, attempting to remove painter's tape from said kitchen cabinetry, and perhaps a bit of decor. But first, a few pictures from the World Figure Skating Championships that I went to with my mom in London, Ontario. Sorry for the picture quality - was not allowed to use my SLR as it has a detachable lens, so I had to use my old trust point-and-shoot, but from very high up, with no flash allowed, and a lot of zoom, this is the best I could do! There are some iPhone photos mixed in too, which somehow are better quality in some cases. Oh, and they are all Canadian skaters pictured except for the zombie pair! Obviously I am tired, but ready for our trip to London! Once arrived, my mom immediately finds her love, Patrick Chan Rinkside Selfie (and by rinkside I mean the nosebleed section) I learned a new term - this is the "kiss and cry" - where they go after they skate to get their marks... They told us to arrive early...why...? Even the zamboni guys are fancy! Warm-up! Ohhh Patrick Kevin Reynolds Ohhhh its time for medals (with the official colour glowing in the background) Medal Ceremony - go Canada! BEST.ICE DANCE. EVER. Zombies!!!!! So good. Piper Gillis & Paul Poirier (skate in Scarborough!) Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir (Olympic Champs and ended up with Silver) Skated to a medley from Carmen - great music selection! Little purple skaters were in excess after the Canadians skated - lots of flowers and gifts to gather up. Medal Ceremony - Canadians were good, Americans were better. Still a great show. We were there from Friday morning until Sunday morning, and we saw the Men's Long Program and Ice Dance Free Dance. We thought there was going to be more to do around the arena, but were sadly disappointed. Spent a lot of time wandering around downtown London, eating too much bad food, and drinking coffee and hot chocolate. Plus a lot of time sitting in a cold arena, but it was definitely a fun experience! I'll probably stick to Stars on Ice from now on, though...I just can't sit still that long!
