Who Here Has Been To The Olympics?

[scarletngray]

Just wondering who here has been to the Olympics? When? Where? And What events did you attend?

I went to the '84 Olympics in L.A.

Wrestling

How about a more specific, and less ambiguous, thread title?

I rode down the Olympic bobsled run in Lake Placid . It's hairy.

I worked on this block during the 2002 Winter Olympics... it was great. They closed the road and installed drive-in size televisions and a bunch of festival activities. I just walked out of the office, watched the events while meeting people from all over the world, and enjoyed all the bands at the medals plaza without spending a dime on tickets. Had a great time.

See the button in your top post labeled "edit", Click it, and then go into the title section of the post and recast it to be more specific.
Watch this post, it's title will change ... "Here Again" then added "Go Advanced"

I was in the Olympics of the Mind at Muskingum College back in '85.

Kind of off topic, but I volunteered at the Special Olympics that were held at Dennison University a while back. Great experience. Highly recommend it.

True dat! I worked with the ramp bowling once (the ball is pushed off an aimed ramp rather than swung), and everyone had a hoot. Huge fun. Really should look into it again...

I was living in Japan at the time so I figured why not... Nagano 98 - Bobsled and hockey.

 

[BuckPshrink]

Lived in Metro Atlanta in 1996. attended Baseball, Equestrian (was married at the time...) and Wrestling! Was also a cop attached to security and was about 400 yards from Centennial Park when the pipe bomb exploded....

BuckPhShrink - I got a good laugh at how you felt you needed to qualify going to an Equestrian event. LOL

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :tongue2:

My best friend and his wife met doing that . . . and yes, they're far better people than me.
