The eagerness and excitement leading up to an Olympic year are at an all-time high because it is a great time to see the best in the world in their respective sports. It is also great to see those athletes represent your country, and it brings up a certain level of pride in all of us. The Olympics also gives us a chance to see sports that we make not normally see, and we learn many new things along the way.
Pyeong Chang 2018 is sure not to disappoint, and there are so many different events to watch for 18 days! So far, the first member of Team USA to receive gold was Red Gerard in Men's Snowboard Slopestyle and he is only 17 years old! I bet this isn't the last Olympics that we will hear his name! Now, we look to the rest of Team USA to bring home those medals! From Shawn White in the halfpipe event to the Women's Hockey team, we have a tremendous amount of talent representing the United States and it is going to be very exciting to see what they can all do!
