Short Track World Cup Finals

I've never been to a speed skating event......until last night! The Barney family invited us to the Speed Skating World Cup Finals at the 2002 Olympic Oval. The kids chased the Olympic Mascots during the breaks. At the end of the event they had a puck toss and our friends won the refrigerator!

Kara, Daegan, Kade and Laird Family




This was Apollo's 1500 m race.

The Barneys and their new frig!!
These are the only good pictures I got of Apollo. You have to turn off your flash while they are competing and when he was warming up I forgot to change my settings. I couldn't believe how fast he was.

That is awesome! We actually got to see him make a world record at the Olympics...too bad a guy right after him beat it by .009 of a second:( But it was still fun and he is amazing!

Hey ... about Nashville... I haven't thought about it too much more because it didn't sound like anyone really wanted to go... but if you do...

Looks like a great time! Maddy doesn't look too sure of the mascot when he's holding her.
