That wasn't a great link - Donna says that the Special Olympics World games results are better. http://www.2009worldgames.org/results/index.htmlAnyhow, he has a silver in the 1000 m and a gold in the 777 m. He beat the second place guy by less than two seconds! Way to go Derek!! He was skating the 1500 m at 3:05 p.m. but the results aren't up yet. |

Good for Derek! I thought the link was ok.
I had a blast from the past the other day when I girlfriend of mine from when I was 10-14 emailed to bring me up to speed on her family. Her younger brother is in Idaho competing in the skiing events, I think mostly cross country and he won bronze! It was kind of cool to know that both he (Mike) and Derek were both there. She also sent me a link to an interview a local radio station from Charlettown did with Mike's Mom at the finish line. It was 6 minutes and was so neat to hear her voice!

That is neat! I wonder if he got to meet Derek at all! What a small world. Derek should be arriving home with his loot any time now. I hope he posts a photo of the hardware!! Derek! We want photos!!
