From contributor Jon. Who is a knucklehead
Morning, got quite the story for you today.
So last night was quite the night… I ended up at a party where the Gold medal winning Canadian, Jon Montgomery, was attending and got to meet him, his coach and team, and also the other skeleton athletes Melissa Hollingsworth and Jeff Pain. Also in attendance was Olympic medal winning Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey and a couple of the local ice hockey players and other celebs.
In my rush to get there (last minute call) I left my camera at home, but here are some shots from the party last night: http://www.jetsetcrew.com/photos/photos-olympics/158-2010-02-22 (Somehow I avoided the paps!)
I have to say Melissa Hollingsworth is very lovely in person and took the time to chat with my friend and I about her training, the preparation and what a commitment it is to be an Olympic athlete. We also got into a long conversation with Jon Montgomery’s coach about the nuances of Skeleton and I totally want to give it a go now! Very inspiring people to meet and chat with.
Anyway it was a great night and one that I’ll be talking about for a while. Oh and the gold medals are big and heavy!
I’m not sure I can top that for a night, but I’ll try my best.
