I love the Olympics!

Really I do love the Olympics. I started watching in the Summer of 1976, at the ripe old age of 11 and a tiny gymnast by the name of Nadia, had me (and the world!) mesmerized. I remember making a scrapbook of Eric Hyden's Olympic triumph at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics (near where I live). I look forward to the games, so much that's about all I do during those two precious weeks. It's not really about the medals- although they are nice too- there is just something so inspiring about listening to the stories of what it took to get the athletes there.

Beijing Olympic Controversy- Organ Harvesting, Arms, and Athletes
