I am soooo excited about the Olympics this year!!! The Olympics of 2008 has shaped up to be the most anticipated event of the year for me and many, many others. With all the bad press about China in the months and days leading up to the games, I halfway expected this Olympics to be overshadowed by the drama. I'm glad I was incorrect. Many of the people I truly wanted to see participate are on their prospective country rosters.
As a fitness professional, the Olympics for me are a time of showing one's athletic and personal achievements. I have always admired those who have been blessed to participate in the games. Not only are they participating in the highest level of competition there will ever be for themselves, they have the chance to be the world's greatest...#1 on an entirely different level. This month, many Olympic athletes will get to shine here on FITT Chronicles. The athlete's partaking in the games have come a long way, fitness wise, and it's only appropriate we show you how!
Until next time, enjoy the games and root for your favorites. Below are some of my favorite athlete's and team competitors that I will definitely be watching and keeping up with.
