Canadian speedskaters Jerry Wotherspoon and skeleton athlete Melissa Hollingsworth are trading in their spandex for haute couture.
With help from Holt Renfrew, the duo suited up for their Juno presentation Sunday night.
"I don't want to look like I'm a musician cause I'm not, but I want to fit in," says Wotherspoon, as he tried on clothes at the Vancouver store.
Vancouver is the host of the event, and with the 2010 Games less than a year away, they seemed like a perfect fit.
"They don't have a red carpet going into speedskating competitions, so no, it'll be a new thing for me," says Wotherspoon.
"I'm just really excited about the dress right now," says Hollingsworth.
The pair has been given the star treatment since the moment they arrived in Vancouver, appearing on local radio and television shows. They even got to meet hockey legend Lanny MacDonald at the Juno Cup Friday night.
Jeremy and Melissa are loving every minute of it. And what's more -- they love music.
"I've listened to Arcade Fire to couple of times to get pumped up for racing and training," he says.
