I love watching sports of all kinds and the Olympics are a special event where most of the world comes together to showcase their incredible athletes. As probably everyone knows the winter Olympics are happening right now in Vancouver Canada.
I'm one of the guys that can watch the Olympic sport of kurling without any idea what is going on and cheer like a mad man. I love the drama of the down hill skier winning a gold metal by .018 seconds. Watching the athletes succeed and fail after years of training can be heart wrenching and thrilling all at the same time.
Canada is one of the most beautiful and friendly countries in the world. They are the perfect host for winter games. I wanted to salute Vancouver and all of Canada for allowing the world enjoy a couple weeks of their hard work. The official slogan of this winter's Olympics is "With glowing hearts". I think that pretty much says it all.
If anyone has the opportunity to gift this project to an Olympic athlete please let me know about it and please, please send pictures.
