The Post About Ryan Lochte and 10,000 Other Athletes

The torch is on its way.



We've chosen our athletes.



They're hoping for gold.



It's the Olympics.

I've always been a fan. Seriously, it's my only option. I'm 5'2" and run like an Ewok. So the athletic bulletin board was never one I lingered over when choosing extracurricular filler.

But I am a fan. I watch. I yell. I realize the worst part of losing...is not winning.

The Olympics are a whirlwind of awesome I adore. So for the next two weeks, I'll be camped out watching and yelling and hoping we win.

USA. USA. USA.

Which Olympic events are your favorite? Which athlete are you keeping your eye on? Besides Ryan Lochte.
