Day 07 - Skeleton

We had the morning off in Whistler so I went to the community centre to do some biking, running and swimming. The weather up here is glorious. We went to the Sliding Centre this afternoon and arrived just in time to watch the beginning of the first run for the women. The men's and women's skeleton start is right at the top of the sliding centre so it was a bit of a hike to get up to the top, but well worth it to watch the start. We could then watch the rest of their run on the big video screen. It was pretty cold and after the women's runs we went into a warming hut to wait for the men's runs. We watched the men's first run from the start as well and then headed back to the Village as it was getting pretty cold. Tomorrow we have to get up very early to catch the bus to the Olympic Park for the ski jump.
