We're down to our last few practices before we leave for the Cup of Berlin and we couldn't be more excited! Our focus on the ice, however, has not been altered and we have been training hard these past weeks with the goal of skating two flawless programs in mind. We recently received our new Team USA jackets and pants. We were fully expecting to take a nice picture all dressed up in our outfits, but Alison pulled her pants out of the bag and asked "Are these supposed to be capris?" The pants were tiny and could not possibly fit anyone older than 10! Our team started busting up as we all pulled our own pants out and found that they, too, were miniature! It turned out that the inseam and outseam measurements had been mixed up, and our team manager tried every trick in the book to get them fixed by the time we left for Germany. They will probably arrive after the competition, but we realized we had enough of the old Team USA pants for everyone to wear and that our new pants will not have to get dirty from the rain/mud, so it turned out to be a positive thing. Plus, it gave us a funny story to tell :]
For those of you who are not coming along with us, this blog will keep you up to date on what Cal Gold is up to in Berlin. The Cup of Berlin Website can give you more information on the competition.
