Day 16 - Figure Skating Gala Exhibition

This afternoon at 4:30 was the figure skating gala; this was the ticket I was most thrilled about getting! We saw 5 skaters in each of the 4 types of skating, plus some gifted children and group performers. It was a lot of fun as well as some beautiful skating! The highlights for me were to see Patrick Chan, Evgeny Pleshenko, Evan Lysacek, Yu-na Kim, Joanie Rochette and Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue. Here are all the skaters in the finale.

I liked seeing the skaters skate when they were relaxed and not under the pressure of a competition.

We also watched and enjoyed seeing our 3 gold medals today, in men's curling, men's team pursuit and men's snowboard slalom!
