Saturday, January 19th – Women’s Relay

We had a great day watching the Women’s Relay. Emma did a fabulous job and got us up into 5th! Then Megan and Rosanna had a tough go in the Range, both with a penalty loop, and Canada ended in 12th, which is still respectable. It was wonderful to see Emma shoot the way she usually does!!!

Here are a couple pics from the day… I’m on our apartment balcony, Brian is along the walk we used to go to The Village to catch the shuttle, and one of the good ones of Emma…

We decided to try a different viewing spot…. instead of being in the Standing section of the Grandstand, we went On Course. It was very exciting to be so close to the racers!! The Grandstand was quite packed on Friday (with 16,000) people at the race. There were 22,000 there for the Women’s Relay. Where we stood was reasonably quiet, we saw lots of skiing, and watched with some young Canadians who used to compete with Scott & Christian. We followed the shooting on the LiveData (internet).
