So, for anyone who doesn't know, I love watching figure skating! It has been a tradition for my mom and I to watch it every year since I was young. I just think that it is so beautiful. I wish I could do the crazy jumps and spins that they do!
Tonight, watching the Olympics, was so emotional. Joannie Rochette's mom, as most people who watch the Olympics know, passed away a couple days ago; the night before her first competition. No one was sure how well she was going to be able to skate. And in the beginning there was a question of whether she would skate at all. But she skated, and she did a beautiful job. She ended up winning a BRONZE medal! Her dad was in the crowd to cheer her on. Watching the medal ceremony, you just felt so happy, but also so sorry for her at the same time. But she was smiling away. And there were tears, of both joy and saddness I'm sure. I was just so glad for her though. She is so brave!
Also, on a side note, Canada beat USA in women's hockey for the GOLD MEDAL tonight as well! whooot.
