Every two years we have the chance to enjoy the Olympics, alternating between the summer and the winter. I have particularly enjoyed the performances of this Olympics. To see the many individual performances of world class athletes, the gold medals being won, world records being broken, the performance of our swim team, the women's gymnastic team, the beach volleyball energy, the athletes of our track and field team and the push for gold by our basketball and volleyball teams creates a sense of patriotism. I love to watch the response of these men and women as our national anthem is played and the red white and blue are lifted to the sky above them to celebrate their individual and team performances.
Athletic competition between nations and individuals presents a stage for sportmanship and blurs the boundaries that sometimes affect our judgement. I love the spirit of the Olympics and am grateful for those men and women that prepare themselves for this world stage.
