We need Forrest Gump. I can appreciate this piece and it exemplifies why there are so many different interests in the Olympics. These days you can literally turn the channel to something that floats your boat. These athletes are amazing and I can find something to appreciate in every sport. I am not a soccer person and watching the game bores me but I can appreciate why so many folks live and breathe it. Thank you for your perspective. Back in the day you only saw the big three on TV. Swimming, Gymnastics and Track & Field. The exposure ,to what some my see as insignificant, can change these athletes life with sponsorships etc... Is Cornhole an Olympic sport? The sight of the chalk puffs perks me up. I watched Archery for the first time this year... can't wait for the break dancing.
