Hi everyone,

What an amazing experience I had the chance to live today! I was one of the four athlètes that got to be the first torch bearers for the beginning of the relay this morning in Victoria. I was with Catriona La May Doan, Simon Whitfield and Silken Lauman, all impressive athletes. I really had an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I encourage you to go check out the details on CTV's website at www.ctvolympics.ca.

I also had the chance to visit the employees at a McDonald's restaurant in Victoria right after the torch realy event. It was a lot of fun to be able to share the experience I had just lived with them.

I will be adding photos in the next few days.

Talk to you soon!

Alex
