TAR CANADA 4 CONTESTANTS - Kelly Xu & Kate Pan (Best Friends and Business Part.)
Leafsfan:
KELLY XU & KATE PAN: Pound-for-pound, they predict they’ll be the best players in the race. How could they not be?
“We are small, we are sooo petite!” says Kelly after a sit-down in a holding room with the other teams.
“We are physically small, the other teams are bigger, and have bigger frames,” adds Kate, her partner in a Toronto fitness program for Chinese nationals and foreign students. “We may not have strength, but we have endurance from working out.”
And they had a novel mental preparation regimen. “We bought a bunch of things from IKEA to try to assemble them,” Kate says with a laugh.
If they turn out to be giant-killers, Kelly and Kate will be firsts on a couple of counts. “There haven’t been any Chinese in this race,” Kelly says. “We’re going to be the first. A big reason we entered, was to represent the Chinese community.
“And be the first girls to win the race!” Kate enthuses.

Their best ep 1 moment was when their raft started floating away. "Oh nonononono!" :lol:
I think we're going to get some great moments from these two.

I like those girls. They have Weibo (Chinese Twitter) accounts so that fans may communicate with them.
One of them was born in Shandong, the same place where I was born.
I have a question: Kate says in the racer files that her food of choice is PHO. What does PHO mean? ???
P.S. I saw those girls post a video clip on Weibo.com and talk to Chinese fans about the first episode (in Chinese). They mentioned that some fans abroad blamed them for giving up a challenge so hastily. They reiterated that they made this move after contemplation. They calculated that the time to get on the cable may probably offset the penalty time. By that time they were in the front and they believed that there must be some female teams that would fail the challenge or take the penalty. So they made the decision. They wanted to save the strength to compete in the latter part of the leg.
I personally think this was a good move. Had there been no bad weather, there might probably be some teams giving up as well.
Here is the video link with no English subtitles: http://weibo.com/p/230444aae8e7f05949a9a69ce52b31fb6be63b
They're quite funny in the video clip. "In Canada there're a lot of outdoor activities. But we don't like activities in winter... We prefer diving. We never took a raft. We looked so dumb in this episode because we forgot our raft. We were just too excited after seeing the cluebox. We even wanted to jeer at ourselves... Losing the raft cost us half an hour."
