It's that time of century



Twice every century, the elite of the worlds athletes come together in an exhibition of excellence.
It is one of my favorite times of the century. To see athletes come together and to show why they have been training for years. Some, tens of years. Did that make any sense?

Some of my favorite events are held in the aquatic center. I like the swimming and the diving.

My all time favorite events are held on the track. I was a sprinter in middle school and high school, so this holds a special place in my heart. Seeing these athletes tells me one thing...............I am getting old :-) But oh to imagine what it would have been like to actually "perform" in the Olympics.

The Olympics,a time for the whole world to come together and have a "friendly" competition. A time for world "peace".

Take time to appreciate the Olympics
