Cheering for church and state

Bethany lindsayblindsay@nsnews.comIf you happen to be walking down 23rd Street Tuesdayevening as the Canadian men’s hockey team takes to theOlympic ice for the first time, you might be surprised tolearn where all that loud cheering is coming from: a church.

the north shore alliance Church has set up its main hallto accommodate 400 people in front of a big-screen televisionmeasuring 10 by 14 feet, and is inviting community membersto drop by beginning at 10 a.m. each day of the Games. For sixof those nights, the church will be offering free barbecue to goalong with live men’s and women’s hockey games. When the menface off against the United states on sunday, the award-winningsmoke and Bones barbecue company will be manning the grill.

jennifer yeager, a member of the church’s organizingcommittee, said that the idea behind the initiative is to makepeople feel welcome inside the church.

“We just really wanted to open the doors and have the worldcome in and see us,” yeager said. “so many people haven’t beeninside a church for a lifetime.”

so far, the church is proving to be a popular venue. “at thegrand opening on Friday night it was absolutely packed. We’vehad lots of visitors, but there’s always room for more,” yeagersaid.

the church is trying to create a place where spectators can getrowdy cheering on their favourite athletes, but where people withyoung children will still feel welcome. “it is very family-friendly,and yet it’s a very ruckus atmosphere,” yeager said.

specialty coffee drinks will also be available by donation everyday at the church, with proceed’s going to the dalit Freedomnetwork, which provides schooling to low-caste children in india.Church members are bringing in home baking, which is availablefree of charge for attendees.

the church is hosting free pancake breakfasts on Feb. 20 and27, when the lower portion of the building will be converted intoa family fun park.

gold medal winner gives backBethany lindsayblindsay@nsnews.comFor the first time, North vancouver’s kathy kreiner-Phillips is experiencing Olympic competition as a fan,not as an athlete.

in the 1976 Games in innsbruck, austria, Kreiner-phillips won a gold medal for Canada in the giant slalom.With the olympics on home turf this year, she said she’senjoying looking on from the sidelines.

“i’m just enjoying the whole buzz of the city. it’sprobably really the first time i felt like a tourist, justenjoying the Games — not competing,” she said.

that’s not to say she doesn’t have any responsibilitiesduring the Games. Kreiner-phillips was a torchbearerduring the olympic torch relay, and beginning tuesday,she will be volunteering in the multi-faith centre at theWhistler athletes’ village.

on monday, however, she was glued to the television,watching fellow north Vancouverite manuel osborne-paradis finish a disappointing 17th in alpine skiing.

“it’s unfortunate. it seems like maybe he was tryinghard — maybe a little too hard,” Kreiner-phillips said.

the event had been delayed from its scheduled date ofsaturday because of poor weather. Kreiner-phillips saidshe knows from experience that postponements can messwith an athlete’s head. “it is one of the harder things;you get all ready for a particular time and then you haveto wait. But it’s the same for everyone,” she said.

the trick is to be able to dial down the intensity whena competition is delayed, then let it build back up, saidKreiner-phillips, who now works as a mental trainer andmentor for young athletes. “you have to know how toturn if off and back on again. it’s really a mental skill todo that, to be more in control.”

the former champion skier said that she’s seen a lot ofchanges in the sport in the last three decades, particularlyin the level of commitment required from athletes.

“it’s changed in a lot of ways. even at younger ages,it’s become more sophisticated,” she said, pointing tosummers spent training in south america, and expensivenew equipment.

she said she’s encouraged by the increase ingovernment funding for olympians in Canada. “i hopethat will continue, because we can’t compete with thesebig countries with a lot of money.”

North van’s kathy kreiner-Phillips, a gold medal winner inthe 1976 winter games, proudly carries the torch wednesday.

andy prestaprest@nsnews.comCanadian downhill skiersmanuel Osborne-Paradisand robbie dixon sharea lot of things, and nowyou can add Olympicdisappointment to that list.

the roommates andtraining partners, who bothgrew up in north Vancouverand have been racing onthe slopes of Whistler sincethey were toddlers, bothfailed to live up to their ownexpectations in monday’solympic downhill in Whistlerwith osborne-paradisfinishing 17th and dixoncrashing.

osborne-paradis, thedeep Cove native knownto everyone in the skicommunity as manny, camein to the event ranked no.3 in the world. Growling inthe starting gates, mannylooked strong in the earlyportion of the race but hadtrouble holding his line on acouple of turns and ended up1.13 seconds behind eventualwinner didier defago ofswitzerland. aksel lundsvindal of norway was secondwith american ace Bodemiller claiming the bronze.

erik Guay was the topCanadian finisher in fifth placeand jan hudec came 25th.

“i was going for first. Whenyou’re racing for one spotthere are a lot of other crappyspots you can get after that,”osborne-paradis told Canwest

news service after the race.“lots of times, i would

show up in races and i wouldbe content with a top tenfinish. this was the first racei’ve ever gone to where a top-ten wasn’t going to cut it. . . .i was racing for (gold). it wasa different kind of racing i wasdoing this week.”

dixon also came intothe race as a favourite afterfinishing second in the onlyofficial training run. Butthings went wrong early ashe plowed through a turngate near the top of the runand then went down in themiddle of the course as hepushed his speed to try tomake up time. dixon was notinjured in the crash. “i justtried to pin it (after catchingthe gate) and that was kind ofthe wrong approach,” he said.“it’s disheartening, but that’sracing.”

manny’s mother janeosborne was there at thebottom of the hill watchingher son race.

“at the top of the course hemade a big mistake and thenhe gained his time back so wewere so excited then,” she toldthe north shore news shortlyafter the race. “But then hetook some other chances andit just didn’t pay off.”

dixon and osborne-paradiswill have another chance towow the hometown crowdwhen they race the super Gwhich is scheduled for Friday,Feb. 19.

even three days after the Olympic opening ceremonies,North vancouver’s James Zinck said he was still buzzingwith excitement from performing in the fiddling.

“the ceremony was fabulous,” he said. “Backstage, it was likea party. there was so much energy.”

since competition started on saturday, Zinck said thehighlight of the Games has been alex Bilodeau’s gold medalin moguls. But there’s still plenty more excitement to come,including the closing ceremonies, which Zinck will get to enjoyfrom the sidelines.

“apparently the closing is even bigger than the opening,” hesaid. — Bethany Lindsay

Zamboni trumps green machinesSpeedskaters and spectators alike were left cooling their heelsat the richmond Olympic Oval monday after all three of thevenue’s electric ice resurfacing machines broke down.
