This is for Nik - I know the facial expressions I somehow come up with never cease to amaze you

Alexandra Orlando: Ever wonder what happens to Olympians after they retire? After the 2008 Beijing Games my whole world turned upside down. Two knee surgeries, a university degree (finally!) and a real job later, I'm still filling up literally every second of every day. Even though I don't compete for Canada anymore, sport will still always be my life. A Marketing Associate at the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games, sports writer and athlete advocate - I'm always on-the-go (more often than not in a pretty high stress state) but it's easy to make me smile. I'm a dancer, a dreamer and a starbucks junkie, but is that really a surprise? Welcome to my life...
