Dreams really do come true...

For some reason, possibly because he has the thighs for it, Tony has always wanted to try his hand at speed skating.  So I surprised him with lessons for his birthday.  Twice a week for 3 weeks he felt the thrill of the speed at the Olympic Oval.  

View on to see Tony's dreams come to fruition...






By the end of his lessons Tony was the fastest in his class by 30 seconds with a time of 50 seconds per lap.  Only a mere 25 seconds off world record pace so watch out 2014 Olympics, here comes your next Apollo Anton Ohno.
