The Olympics are a celebrated international event that has a rich history and culture. It brings countries together in a grand athletic competition and is an awesome symbol of worldly communion. They happen every other year, alternating in Winter and Summer, so it’s not uncommon for families to make time in their schedules to watch their favorite events.
Personally, I’m not a sports person and watch the Olympics only if I see a channel airing it. But I’m not too out of the loop thanks to Instagram, a visual-focused social media platform. There are many fantastic on scene images and artistic submissions celebrating favorite sports or athletes. Here are some things I’ve “learned” about the Olympics thanks to Instagram.
