A side note....

I know many will ask, so I will answer it right now.  No I can't take pictures of skaters for you.  As one of the press ppl my job is to make sure that only people who have bought rights get to take pictures or film.  If a volunteer is caught taking pictures of athletes, they will get kicked out and their accreditation will be taken away. As much as I would like to sneak pictures, I won't because this experience is important and too cool for me to mess up.
