And, you know, he said that he was happy with the results after.

But he also said that he was already looking forward to his next race, which is the 1500 meters on Thursday.

Yes, thank you for letting me brag about this.

So I have gotten for myself the gold medal of pins here.

I have gotten myself a Snoop Dogg pin.

And this was the situation of being in the right place at the right time.

So for a little context here, Olympic pin trading is huge.

It's like its own Olympic sport.

And it's something that both attendees and athletes are very fervent about doing.

On Sunday, yesterday, I was on my way to the mix zone after the women's 500 meters.

I was going to talk to some speed skaters there.

after their race.

And I happened to be out in the mix zone at the same time that Snoop Dogg and his entourage were leaving.

He was like, I don't know, like 10 feet ahead of me.

I took a very blurry photo, but you know, someone in the back of his entourage looked over at me, saw my NPR sweater.

I don't know if that was what did it or not, but she handed me his pin and now I have a Snoop Dogg pin.

It's pretty awesome.

I'm here for a day.

Thank you.

At the Milano Speed Skating Stadium, it's becoming the norm for speed skaters to blast through previous Olympic records.
