Chan greeted by `surreal’ Games welcome

VANCOUVER–Such is Patrick Chan’s Olympic studliness that photographers were dispatched to the airport Monday afternoon to snap-document his arrival.

And the poor Games rookie hasn’t even laced up his skates yet.

“It’s almost surreal,” Chan told reporters at the airport reception. “It’s the first time I’ve been nervous coming off a plane because I knew what was coming up. It’s really cool to be here.”
