If you ever get the opportunity to attend an Olympic Games, DO IT! You will love it...You do not even need to be a sports fan.

I was lucky to be living in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia during the '96 Olympic Games and it has been one of the highlights of my life. Seeing the Olympics on TV and being at the Olympics in person, are two totally different experiences. As thrilling and exciting as the games can be on television, the experience of being there yourself is like nothing else!

 

Also, I was lucky enough to be working in the media as Sports Director for a radio company in Athens, Georgia, which gave me access to the Olympic athletes and competition venues.

My highlight was being there to see the USA Women's Soccer Team win the GOLD MEDAL over China. The Stadium in which they won, was about 200 yards from my apartment at the time.
