Maybe it’s just that it’s hard to watch the Winter Olympics when Colorado doesn’t get snow anymore, but times have changed. I can still remember years ago, sitting around with my family, not knowing any results, cheering for the USA during a delayed, recorded broadcast. Now, instead of sitting with my family, I’m yelling to my family, “Hey, I found Peacock! Can someone help me with the freaking QR code?!!” The Winter Olympics are just different these days. • First of all, whose idea was it to have the Winter Olympics in Italy?

A little research tells me it’s about more than high level athleticism. A great player needs willpower. Coachability. Determination.
