We have an exciting week ahead in the world of sports! On Sunday, the Eagles Face the Patriots in the 52nd Super Bowl, but what I’m especially looking forward to is the commencement of the XXIII Olympic Winter Games next Thursday.

While I’m personally not a cold weather person—and the worst snow skier in America (LOL!)—I enjoy the presentation of the Winter Olympic Games every four years. I am fascinated by the interplay between sports and geopolitics that comes with the Olympics, and the level of competition and the dedication of the athletes is simply extraordinary to witness. The Winter Games are especially fun to watch and present stimulating and intriguing array of sports—some of which, as a Southerner, I would never know existed without the Olympics! Even the venues themselves are majestic, and the hard work put in to building them to perfection, along with the extravagance of the opening ceremonies, demonstrate the pride that comes with hosting such an incredible event.

This year’s Winter Olympics will be held across the world in PyeongChang, North Korea, kicking off on Thursday, February 8th and ending with the closing ceremony on Sunday, February 25th. Being in opposite time zones won’t keep us from watching, though, as NBC have events airing on TV, streaming live, streaming on-demand, streaming on apps…let’s just say there are plenty of ways to watch the games! I’ll certainly be watching as much as I can along with my MKLG team, and hope you will check it out too!

Go Team USA!
