My little sister is watching the Olympics on TV here at home in Arlington. I've always enjoyed the Olympics, especially the summer games. I feel like they are a much more inclusive event than the winter games. I suppose that is rather inevitable though, since not every country can have snow for skiing or frozen lakes for curling. (You gotta love curling.) By the same token, not every country can afford the kind of infrastructure that it takes to train athletes for winter games (ski jumps can be a tad pricey). Realistically it is probably impossible for a small country that only sends one or two athletes to the summer games to somehow pull off a surprise victory in today's world of NASA funded swimwear and shoes designed to shave hundredths of seconds off of runner's times, but part of me hopes that there is still a chance. I guess I just can't resist rooting for an underdog sometimes.
