The Olympics

Is anyone else loving the Olympics?

For the next 2 weeks I will be sat in front of the sofa and become an expert on sports I’ve never really through about, only to forget about them for another 4 years and then let the cycle repeat itself.

I think the Olympics is such an important part of our world culture. To watch these incredible athletes soar through the sky doing backflips on a slender piece of wood is mental to me!

In reference to my earlier comment, there isn’t a stage as widespread as the Olympics where we can all appreciate the discipline of being the best at a sport. I mean, how often do you think of the core strength needed for the women’s/men’s big air or the rhythm and dance figure skating! Never…in my case. Maybe you think of it every day and in which case, sorry I’m so ignorant! :)

What’s great, is that it’s broadcast on such a big stage so it’s accessible to most people to appreciate. In a society where we are glued to our phones and going outside is more important than ever, I think the Olympics is a great way to encourage the younger generation.

Let me know if you’re watching the Winter Olympics!
