Star Struck at Four Continents
I’ve got a confession to make. I get star struck around famous skaters. Not today’s superstars–I saw Joannie Rochette in the hallway and didn’t think much of it. No, I get silly around skaters who were phenoms when I was a young(ish) skater–Tracy Wilson, Kurt Browning and Shae-Lynn Bourne. I’d probably faint if I saw Katerina Witt in the flesh.
So, you can imagine my state when my mom and I ran into Jamie Sale on the concourse outside the arena yesterday. My mom chatted away asking Jamie about being a new mom and balancing her training and touring schedule. I barely managed a hello and a handshake. All I could think was, “you have an Olympic gold medal!”

I hear you! So starstruck around these folks! Brian Orser was having dinner in the same restaurant as my husband and I on Saturday night. I (almost) never to this, but I wanted to say “CONGRATS” (on life…and at 4 Continents) so like a grade 8 girl, I wrote a note and asked our server to deliver it after we left! Ah!
