Here I am posing in front of the two Olympic mascots at a victory ceremony on Feb. 17th in Whistler.
To the right is Quatchi who is a Sasquatch, who wears boots and earmuffs. To the left is Miga who is a mythical sea bear, part orca and part kermode bear. These creatures are seen at every event on the screen during breaks, in a game called "Find Miga/Quatchi". The victory ceremony was a lot of fun. At one point they enormous threw beach balls into the crowd. The victory ceremonies are held in two places at once, one in Vancouver, and one in Whistler. The Olympic events that took place in Vancouver and Cypress Mountain are celebrated in Vancouver and the events near Whistler are celebrated in Whistler - but both are live on TV at the same time.

The first skier on the ladies downhill skiing on Feb. 17 fell down, and five more Olympic skiers followed her example. One of the five skiers was from France and went five feet and fell. I feel really sorry for her because she came all this way and fell at the start. Lindsey Vonn had an amazing run and just destroyed the score table with her time. Out of the next five skiers that could possible get a medal three of them fell. And the other two messed up on a turn or jump. In the end U.S.A. had first and second and Austria had third.
I LOVE THE MASCOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Jack,
We haven't had much luck meeting the mascots, so my mom made me a Quatchi costume.
