If you want someone specific to cheer for in the Olympic Games.....

there's two guys I know:

Jason Turner is a pistol shooter. He just won the Pan Am Games last year and has been training for Olympic Gold for a long time. We grew up together and he's such a great guy.

Ryan Lochte is a swimmer. We used to train together and his father was my coach. I remember when he was a little kid. Gosh I'm getting old.

Just thought I'd add a personal touch to the Olympic athletes.


Anybody have others?

Yes! I was just going to post that a few students from the University where I work are in the olympics on the US fencing team: Keeth Smart (former student) and Dagmara Wozniak (current student). The US fencing coach is also the fencing coach at the University.

I also have a student fencing for the Canadian national team this year, as well.
