If you're like me, you love the Olympics. Everyone has their favorites. I'm sad the Baseball is not part of the Olympics this year and hope to see it back when it goes to LA in 2028. The swimming has been amazing, like always.
It's almost impossible to describe just how much time and effort goes into becoming a world class athlete in any sport. I understand that better with sports I've participated in. At one time, the idea of swimming at the college level, with hopes of competing on the Olympic stage, captured my imagination, I have no regrets in not pursuing that. You have to be single-minded in your pursuit of excellence.
I'll be watching the women's 1500 meter finals on Wednesday to see if Katie Ledecky can do it one more time. What an amazing ambassador for the sport.
