Hi, all!

 

Nice to meet other people from  with interest in the Olympics.  I'm in SC.  Work as a Spanish teacher.  Dad with two kids at home.  My wife loves the Olympics, too, which is good.  (I just have dived much deeper.)

 

Love literally any sport in the Olympics.  If I don't follow it, then I probably will.  I enjoy learning about the new sports, what the rules are, who the main characters are, etc.  If I don't like it, I at least try to appreciate it.  Oddly enough, some of my least favorite Olympics sports are the 'normal' ones like basketball that are on all the time anyway.

 

Currently biggest fans of Sport Climbing, Table Tennis, Modern Pentathlon, Weightlifting, Biathlon, and Ski Mountaineering.

 

Hope to hear from y'all during the 2026 Olympics and afterwards as we prepare for LA28!

I am in Southern California, where I also teach.   Mad for the Olympics and super-crazed for them to be here in 2028.  These games will be fun too.   I don't post much but pleased to have my status raised to "senior member"..

Trying to decide how to balance 'I want to go to the Games' with 'I want to be at home watching all the games'.  I imagine we'll end up in LA for some of it and combine it with some area tourism.  (Never made it to California before.)
