Drew's curling team wins GOLD! winning every single game!
When we met Drew at the ferry last night we didn't yet know the results but the moment I saw Drew coming up the escalator at arrivals and saw a medal around his neck I knew something good had happened but couldn't see the colour of the medal until he came through the doors, flew at me for a gigantic hug and proudly showed me his gorgeous GOLD! medal!
All the athletes had a wonderful two days of competition and social events. Drew was particularly chuffed to stay at a Ramonda Hotel across the street from the super sports complex in Coquitlam. He told me had "a very hard time leaving"! They have an amazing coach who had them playing in a mainstream league for practice all season and it seems to have paid off!
The next big news is that now they have won the gold medal at the provincials they get to go on to the National Special Olympics Winter games next year to be held in Alberta. The coach is very excited and is looking forward to getting them ready for this all important competition.
I'm hoping B.C. Special Olympics posts photos soon so we can see an image of the gold medal presentation.
In the meantime I found a great shot of Drew ready to throw the shot put on the Victoria Special O sight I thought everyone would like to see.Drew is looking forward to showing everyone his medal!
Cheers
Patricia, the proud Mama
