Olympic (Park) Style Skating

Speed skating is a big thing amongst the youth around here. Alex Kim runs off to speed skating practice ever Thursday after school and then comes back the next day to show me how he does his turns. We've got elementary kids who show up in full spandex suits on their way to practice. Skating and soccer seem to be their big sports.

Just like at home, the winter season brings on the holiday decor and outdoor skating rinks. We hit one up this past week in Olympic Park. You can rent skates for a dollar and then they make you wear a helmet. It's sweet.
