"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."
QUOTE OF THE DAY

- Pierre de Coubertin
The Olympics began as religious tradition amongst the Greek city-states.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: Athens
Q: What city were the first Olympics held in?
THE MORNING BREW
U.S. lacks enthusiasm about Olympics
one hundred and five days till the official Olympic flame is lit in London.
Every four years, athletes from numerous countries gather to compete in the Summer Olympics. Private leagues and individual championships don't compare when it comes to players competing for their country's pride.
Unlike most of the world, the U.S. doesn't have a strong fan following. People don't spend nights glued to the TV keeping tally of which country is winning the most medals.
As with each Olympic Games, it's an opportunity for nations to get involved on an international stage. We pride ourselves on being a nation of diversity and multiculturalism, but our nation is very isolated from the rest of the world.
The FIFA World Cup doesn't incite large crowds and intense rivalries for us. To us, the word cricket means a pesky bug rather than a national sport. By this point of the year, Super Bowl Sunday and March Madness are over, and there is a minor lull in sports. I recommend taking the opportunity to
brush up on your Olympic knowledge.
This year's Summer Olympics will have 26 sports, ranging from wrestling to equestrian jumping. On July 27, the opening ceremonies will start with introductions of the host country followed by introductions of all the athletes and their countries. The official kick off to the games is when the Olympic flame is lit. It remains lit until the end of the Olympics.
Although the Olympics may not hold the same thrill for us compared to other nations, it doesn't mean we haven't excelled in the games. For the past 12 years, the U.S. has won exactly 36 gold medals in each of the three summer Olympics.
Following the summer Olympics are the Paralympics, which will begin
on Aug. 29 in London as well. The Paralympics consist of 20 sports and were created for competitors with physical disabilities. The Paralympics were started in 1948 after a number of competitors returned from World War II with injuries.
