I watched and enjoyed the 2002 Winter Olympics. I am awed by the talent, and courage the athletes have. Their dedication shows the disciplined lives they lead.
What amazes me more, is that most of them can converse in English. Why are all the foreign athletes taught English, and we don’t teach another language to our youngsters? A foreign language should be mandatory in grade school, where young minds learn so easily.
I was so proud of our American athletes, and all the medals they won. Congratulations to them, and all who participated. Nice job, world.
God bless America
