Anyone of your friends or someone from your town competing in or going to be in or have competed in the olympics?
Theres a swimmer from my city who was in the olympics... as well as a runner who most definitely will be in the games one day.

Phoebe helped me get better at backflips on the trampoline at Woodward last summer. Also the most flexible person I've ever seen in my life. She got bronze in the 88 Olympics for beam.

A girl from my high school almost made it for the 50 or 100 m free-stroke or whatever. As a junior in high school, she broke all the idaho state records, then broke her own records her senior year. She was on pace to make the team but then got mono the past season. (hope it was worth it hehe )
