Katarina & I having a blast at Jericho Beach

Katarina & I having a blast at Jericho Beach

Yesterday was an absolute blast with Katarina Witt and the ARD crew!!!…..Thank you…here are more pics….

I had been approached by ARD German TV to do a small interview and stint with Katarina Witt….my first reaction was ‘thats sounds brilliant!!!’ But my after thought was ‘I need to find out who Katarina Witt is’….and I do have to apologise for that as I grew up with a completely different sporting focus….yes the opposite hemisphere generally doesn’t get covered in the white powder and go below 5 degrees so our sporting focus was mostly on football, track & field, swimming etc (I think mostly out door sports hehe.) Completing my google effort on Katarina I was super excited and couldn’t wait for our shoot….hows that… an ice skating champion and icon….hanging with me….Sawweeetttaahhhh!!! An I have to say she is so humble and sweet…and the rest of the crew I tip my hat to you…you were all brilliant….I hope you enjoy your boots (they will come in handy while you are here hehe)…

Katarina has also had some other adventures while here in Vancouver from an avalanche rescue in Whistler, to reuniting with rival Elizabeth Manley (I must warn you, some of the info is in German, confusing yes!!! I couldn’t understand half the stuff they were discussing yesterday)….I hope you all enjoy the olympics…ONE DAY TO GO WOO HOO!!!!

In the Olympic spirit? Join us tonight while we celebrate the Olympic Torch making its way down west 4th…..
