Citius, Altius, Fortius is the Olympics motto. It is Latin for Faster, Higher, Stronger and each athlete will strive to do just that. To be the best in the world, at this time and in this moment.
Ever since I can remember I have been a huge fan of the Olympics and tonight the eyes of the world will converge on Sochi, Russia to watch these amazing athletes compete in the 22nd Winter Olympics. I love the dedication, competitive drive and mutual respect displayed by these athletes and I am looking forward to the opening ceremony tonight.
In keeping with the Olympic spirit, here is a photo I took at the Olympic park in Munich, Germany.
The water in this pool once embraced Olympic athletes from all over the world in the swimming & diving competitions. I am keeping my fingers crossed and will say a prayer that we will have a very competitive, safe and peaceful Olympics in Sochi.
Let the games begin . . . .
