The Olympics bring athletes from 206 different countries together to bond, compete, and potentially form relationships. With 20 million viewers from around the world, the audience views all the hard work and effort that these athletes put in day in and day out. The amount of time, energy, and dedication that's these athletes put into the sports that they love is not recognized enough. It is not only an enjoyment for the audience to come together and cheer their country on, but the enjoyment that these athletes encounter by representing and winning for their country is absolutely amazing.



From the opening ceremony to the closing events, every moment is breathtaking. These athletes compete for their personal pride and pride for their country; these inspiring stores that these athletes have from participating in the Olympics will last them a life time; and the legacy that these athletes will leave for themselves and their country will be written for history. The 2016 Olympics in Rio will not only be amazing, competitive, enjoyable, and exciting, but it will be another year that the United States will make history! Go team USA!
