I have been watching the Olympics so intently for three reasons. One, I have worked with the USOC as an athlete ambassador, assisting all winter Olympians in their preparation to the Games and feel apart of their team. Two, I love the red, white and blue. Three, there is nothing more thrilling than to do or watch a celebration. Whether it be big or little, seeing the joy, relief, satisfaction, and happiness on some ones face makes me feel like I could ski that treacherous mountain, do a triple axel, save the puck on a breakaway or nail a triple twisting double flip on the ski aerials possible. As Bode Miller (a friend and competitor of mine on the Superstars) said, “the Olympics creates an environment that allows you to do something that didn’t seem possible in any other place”. And that is why the celebrations at the Games are so special and genuine. To be able to thrust your arms in the air, scream with delight and smile from ear to ear makes each tough training, missed kick, or skinned knee disappear. So, to you all, when you do something, out of the ordinary, or extraordinary, CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!! And do it as if no one was watching.
