Photos with Olympians

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell won gold medals in the women's double sculls, beating the German pair by 1/100 of a second, 7:07.32 versus 7:07.33. The first time in history that this title was successfully been defended.





Heard on the radio today that the double gold medalists will be in Newmarket this afternoon at the Samsung Plaza from 1 - 3pm. Keen to meet the twin sister, I went over eventhough I felt lazy as.

There were not as many people as I expected. It is probably lack of advertising. But on the other hand, that means I can get to meet the twins quicker!




Not a long queue.. GREAT!







What a nice sisters they are. Very down to earth and friendly. After I had their signature, I asked if I can have their photo and they offered to have the photo taken with me! Of course I accepted this grand offer! It's not everyday we have a photo taken with Olympic Gold Medalists!





Oh just in case you haven't notice, I was holding the Gold Medal in my hand! Ha! Beat that!
