This weekend, speedskaters are pouring their hearts and souls into last ditch efforts to make the Olympic Team and to represent the USA in Vancouver come February.
I know I said I was taking a few days off from blogging, but I just got news via Twitter and phone call that my friend and fellow speedskater, Trevor Marsicano has just added another distance to his Olympic skating card! Just a few moments ago, he won his 5000m distance, earning him a spot on the team! I just had to share this great, great news! I am so proud of him.
I will be back in the next day or two and will be sure to let you know how Trevor and the rest of your USA team did this weekend in Salt Lake City!
Hi Kelly!
ReplyDeleteI've seen your posts on Twitter but today was the first time I clicked over to your blog. I'm helping out with social media for US Speedskating and just wanted to say thanks for blogging about the team. We are so appreciative of everything you've done to help keep the team in the news and keep fundraising dollars coming in. I look forward to reading your blog in the next few weeks to read your thoughts on the skaters' journeys to the Olympics.
Hi Libby!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by- glad you are enjoying the blog.
As a speedskater, I am so happy with the exposure our niche sport (at least in the USA) is receiving this year.
It's been my pleasure to share as much as I can for those not familiar with this wonderful sport.
I also have a vested interest as my friends are making their dreams a reality by making the team;
I couldn't be happier or more proud of their accomplishments!
Looking forward to February!
