Olympics 2021

 Tuning in to the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Grateful to see the individuals who have worked so hard to get here. Excited to see more swimming and of course, Track and Field. Nick knew a young man, when he was in college from Canada. His name is Andre De Grasse. He ran in the 100m behind Bolt and when Bolt retired he said he felt he was every bit as good Bolt himself was. If you watch the Olympics please look for this young man.

I always feel my age when the Olympics come around. I was nearly 15 when Tony Hawk was born. He holds the title for the most influential skateboarder and he is 53 years old. Kelly Slater was born when I was graduating high school. He's the guy who still is seen as the greatest surfer in the world. We won't even talk about Rowdy Gaines (age 59) or Nadia and Bart Conners. Even Dorothy Hamil and Mary Lou Retton got old!

Some say Katie Ledecky is actually a fish. She is an incredible athlete and of course, Michael Phelps holds many world records. These are some of the people I admire for their devotion to the sport they love and the class they show on and off their sport. 

A favorite Olympian, a young girl with guts and gusto and great faith in God.

Kelly Slater was born in February 1972, I graduated high school in May 1972 and the greatest track and field athlete in my humble personal opinion, Steve Prefontaine ran in the 1972 Olympics in Munich. It was a very good year.
