Why I love the Olympics So Darn Much

The Olympics kick off today, and I could NOT be more excited! I look forward to the Olympics and am that person that will stream as many events as humanly possible. I love just about every event - summer or winter! But since it's the winter Olympics coming up, I must say I am most excited for curling. Yes, curling. It's so soothing to watch! And the pant! Have you seen their pants? I'm a fan. There are so so so many reasons to love the Olympics, but here are my top 3.

International Unity
As someone who loves nothing more than traveling the globe, I must say I love any event that brings the world together - namely Olympics and the World Cup. In my experience, it's SO fun to compete internationally and make friends from all over the world - I can only imagine competing on the world's largest stage! Athletes from every corner of the globe have been training their whole lives for that moment, and we get to watch it unfold! The incredible highs and lows. I love it.

Athletic Prowess
As a life-long athlete, I have tremendous respect for each and every one of those athletes. The amount of hard work and sacrifice they've poured into their sport is tremendous. I competed as a college athlete and that was intense. I can only imagine what it takes to make it to the big leagues. The olympics is the place to go if you want to see the best of the best.


Just Plain Fun
I'm the person who rallies around my favorite events and hosts all-out viewing parties. I absolutely love the excitement, the thrill, the camaraderie!  Plain and simple, the Olympics are so. much. fun.

No event too small, I'll be watching from start to finish. Will you?
