I love the Olympics, as when I was MUCH younger, I was a gymnist, diver and swimmer and those thoughts of being an Olympian crept into your brain. But, I wasn't good enough. I skied for 30 years, so everything on the snow is exciting in the Games also, so winter and summer, I am watching! The dedication these athletes have put into their goal is just amazing!
I find it so interesting to hear countries I have not heard of, and have to Google to see where they are. Some interesting facts for these 2024 Games -
203 countries represented
11,040 athletes participating
40 different competing sports
592 athletes are from the US
29 Olympic and Paralympic athletes have Colorado as their hometown
We have an Olympic Center in Colorado Springs, and of course, our Rocky Mountains are prime for winter Olympians.
Watching the basketball game now between US and Serbia, as the Joker (Jokic) is on our Nuggets team, but playing for Serbia. Later today, will be cheering for the gymnastic team members!
