I absolutely love the Olympics! Summer, winter, it doesn’t matter; I love watching it all. I’ve been watching the Olympics for as long as I can remember. Perhaps it’s the competitive spirit in me, as I’ve been playing sports my whole life. Or maybe it’s the feel-good stories that seem to come along with each Olympian. Or maybe it’s watching your favorite athlete compete in multiple Olympics that just makes you want to see them raise the bar and break records. Whatever it is, I love becoming a coach potato for a couple of weeks and watching the action unfold.
