Oh, yeah! I'm definitely excited, but then that's every Olympics for me.. ;^) I might even have a chance to be in Athens again during part of the Games, but I'm not entirely sure that'll work out yet.

I know a lot of people bash the Olympics because of the politics associated with the games. But when you know some of the athletes who've competed and won medals, you realize it's a nonpolitical event for them. Instead, this is simply a chance to compete against the greatest athletes in the world - when everyone's in their prime conditioning - and see how they stack up.

When you look past the IOC to the athletes (and remember there are 50 honest athletes for every Johann Muehlegg), you realize how meaningful it is.
