One Day to go, Opening Ceremonies Tonight

The opening ceremonies will take place tonight. Sigrid Ziegler and Jesse Pauley will carry the Canadian flag. The rest of us have a nice 6-hour break. This will be the last big break for a while I think. Jesse thinks that carrying the flag will be fun. It's like he's going to be leading us out and he likes that.

Tyler Congdon, from Calgary, is the team manager. He is spending a lot time in meetings today. The meeting he went to this morning confirmed that next year's worlds are in Colombia and the following year in Spain.

About the meeting, Tyler said that parts of it were in English, but that when there were other languages being used, he could use a multi-channel radio and tune into the one where they were translating it into English. They did this for many different languages.


I like this shot of Sigrid Ziegler and Alex D'mello. It was taken during our practice. Today, we were doing some fast laps and openning 100's. We're getting our times down, but we need way more time on the track. Unfortunately, we have no more time left! We race tomorrow.


The Mexican team has 17 skaters according to my friend Alan who is part of their squad. He said that he doesn't feel like it is hot here in Korea, but rather it is humid.


The team from Iran sent many skaters.


The guy on the right in the green shirt is Jason. He used to live in Missisauga right by square one. Now he works for Hyper in Korea.
