Olympic+ring+3+18

The day I became a Famous Winter Olympian

By: Rachael Parker

"Rachael, Wake up!!" My skating partner yelled in my ear as we pulled up to the skating rink for the Vancouver Olympic games. " I yelled you wake up. I need more sleep. Because of your snoring from the other room and my room mate talking on and on about her routine so you wake up!" He just looked at me then sighed his snooty ist sigh then looked out the window. I was thinking to my self why did I have to be with one of the worst people in the world? Then finnaly we pulled up to the opening to go into the pratice run for ice skating. When we walked in to the skating rink in front of us were peple off diferant nationalatlys praticing ther routines. When we got to our seating arangments I put on my all time favorite shoes in the world. My ice skates. As I put them on I felt joy rather than hatred torwards my partner who was sitting on the same bench that I was sitting on right next to me. Then we both got on the ice to pratice for the next night .As we got on to the rink we praticed and praticed. As I landed the waltz jump it was time to go. The next night the whole rink was full of spectators in the stads scaeming out the names of the people they were routing for in the final event for pair figure Skating .All the competers had gone before us. Finally, after a Japenese cople whent. We got on to the Ice. I landed everythiing perfectly. But when it came to the Lutz I lande it and I knew we would when the gold. When we got up to the podium we were in second place. I was so happy at least we got tthe silver medle instead of taking nothing home with us.
