SOCHI — This is the moment speedskaters have talked and dreamed about for who knows how long: the Olympics.
For Heather Richardson, Brittany Bowe, Sugar Todd, and Mitch Whitmore, they've been talking and dreaming about it a lot with each other because they live together in Park City.
"We all get along and take care of what we need to take care of and it's been an awesome situation," Bowe said.
Awesome, yes, but we wanted to know how well do they know each other? So we asked them.
First question, who's the messiest?
"I would probably say Brittany," Whitmore said.
What would Brittany say?
"The messiest roommate is Mitch," Bowe said.
One roommate went through a bit of self discovery about the question.
"Maybe me?" Richardson said. "If I don't notice anybody else being messy, it might be me."
What about who wakes up first?
"Sugar Todd," Bowe said.
Two for two?
"Sugar," Whitmore said. "By a mile."
This will make a third for Todd.
"Sugar," Richardson said. "I always hear her in the morning."
And for this once, everyone is agreeing.
"Me, absolutely," Todd said. "And a lot of mornings I'll wake up and in order to entice them to wake up with me, I'll make breakfast for everybody."
But if Todd is the first one up, who's the person who's always last to leave if they all have to go to training or something?
"Usually Mitch is the reason why we're late," Todd said.
Time is a little more definitive and so are their answers.
"Mitch, Mitch. That's Mitch," Richardson said.
For a speedskater Whitmore seems like she runs a little slow.
"I would say Mitch would be the last one out the door," Bowe said.
Come on, Mitch a house with three women and you're the last to get ready?
"Me, absolutely," Whitmore said. "I'm always the last to leave for practice. I'm making them late. Trying not to make them late, but yeah."
We didn't dare ask them who their favorite roommate is so, Todd did it for us.
"Brittany Bowe, who would you say your favorite roommate is?" Todd asked.
Bowe answered slyly.
"Ummm, my favorite is Heather, but I keep her far away in the basement," Bowe said.
To which Todd took exception.
"Lies, all lies," Todd said.
Then Bowe fixed her answer, to a point.
"Just kidding," Bowe said. "Sugar is, no Mitch is. Mitch is my favorite."
