So how about those Olympic games? I personally love watching them and have tremendous admiration for the athletes. Whether it's the speed and excitement of downhill skiing, the grace and beauty of figure skating, or the daredevil runs of snowboarding, the Olympic games are a time-honored tradition offering something for everyone. I'm always amazed with the stories behind the athletes. Many of them have truly faced some tremendous hardships. What great inspirational life-lessons we can learn from these dedicated men and women.

Okay, so here are some questions for you to test your Olympic knowledge:
*Where did the Olympics start? What is considered to be the first "event?"
*Today was the 30th anniversary of what "great moment" in Olympic history?
*What specifically is Nadia Comanici's Olympic claim to fame?
*What was significant about the Paris 1900 Summer Olympic Games?
*What summer Olympic sport features such positions as the Flamingo, crane, & fishtail?

Happy Olympic watching! Go USA!
