My relationship with the Olympics runs deep. I grew up in Lake Placid, NY — a dinky, rural, little town upstate that no one would really know except for the fact that we held the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. I learned to skate on the oval where Eric Heiden won 5 gold medals in speed skating. I hung out after school at the arena where the underdog United States beat the USSR in the moment enshrined as the "Miracle on Ice." My elementary school's evacuation location was none other than the Olympic Training Center down the road.
