CELEBRITY Tessa Virtue
Anyone feeling the post-Olympics blues? Plenty of Canadian Olympians certainly are!
Canada’s sweetheart, Tessa Virtue, was the first one to signal that something was feeling off.
“Where are all of my @TeamCanada friends? Is it still OK to wear sweatpants 24/7? Where’s the bibimbap? Why aren’t @arkellsmusic playing live for my kitchen dance party?” the figure skater asked. “The post-Olympic reality check is real. And it’s a struggle.”

Is it still OK to wear sweatpants 24/7?
Where’s the bibimbap?
Why aren’t @arkellsmusic playing live for my kitchen dance party?
The post-Olympic reality check is real. And it’s a struggle.
Bobsledder Justin Kripps was the first to offer a solution: “Shall we go on vacation? [Maybe] @arkellsmusic will come too!”

Kripps’ fellow bobsledder Jesse Lumsden then decided he wanted in on the action. “Like I'm gonna miss this one,” Lumsden tweeted.

Speedskater Gilmore Junio then slid his way into the conversation: “I’ve cleared my schedule.”

Virtue finally got some female company in her struggle through skier Cassie Sharpe. “Okay... ditto,” said Sharpe.

But skier Phil Brown’s response was the realest.
“Feels! I felt so uncomfortable putting on Jeans and a button up to go out for dinner last night.”
