I haven’t written on the Olympics in a while.
In fact, it is almost six years since I wrote this piece prior to the Beijing 2008 Games. (http://foreveryoungnews.com/posts/1231-the-spirit-lives-on)
And at that point,
there seemed a good chance that the Games weren’t going to happen at all. But
they came off without any significant hitches, as I recall.
This weekend found me
getting a bit more into the Winter Games spirit. Snow on the ground here in Port Rowan certainly
helps. Good results from our bobsleigh athletes
and alpine skiers serve as a reminder that the opening of Sochi is only 67 days
off.
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games follow about
a month later.
These games will feature competition in five
events. They are
Alpine Skiing,
Biathlon,
Cross-Country
Skiing,
Ice Sledge Hockey
and Wheelchair Curling.
