The 2016 Olympics are over and Rio de Janeiro and the athletes made this a great
event. We watch quite a bit of the
Olympics and enjoy the little known sports as well as some of the big name
events. I enjoy what this means to the
athletes as well as to the countries.
And for the most part politics aren’t a big part of the story. Just athletes who’ve gone all out for the
last four years to get to this one point.
Rio for its part did a great job and all the dire predictions turned out
to be for not. The city did a great job
overall.
The opening
and closing ceremonies did well as bookends to the Olympics. I like watching the athletes after the
Olympics are over because they are so much looser. No more events to stress about and they can
be themselves. Some are even fans
themselves who get selfies with the other stars of the games.
Listening to interviews of the athletes, to
include those on the local radio, showed they enjoyed themselves and also
squashed the rumors about how bad conditions were. There is way too many great moments in the
Olympics not to enjoy. You don’t have to
be a fan of all the sports but there is definitely something for everyone. For me, I just enjoy.
