Question of the Week:

Did you watch the Olympics?

It was an incredible stretch. So many highlights and stories. It is always amazing to watch the best athletes in the world compete across to many sports and events. I think there is a lot to learn from both individual competitors and team sports, but overall, the publicity and exposure to so many sports and athletes is what I enjoy the most.

What was your favorite moment? Mine was definitely the USA Men’s Basketball team winning gold, while watching some of the newer NBA stars succeed on team France and team Serbia.

For those that may have missed it, the Olympic Games country medal count came down to the last day, and last few events, with the US tying China with 40 gold medals with a final total count of 126 for USA and 91 total for China.

As we begin another week nearly halfway through August, I find myself sprinting more after watching Noah Lyles, playing more basketball after watching Lebron James, and picturing so many other ways of getting active with family and friends as fall approaches.

Get active this Monday in the days that follow! At least in Vermont, our non-snowy days are numbered!
