We have 1 of only 3 Olympic Training Centers in this country here in Colorado Springs. We have lived here over 9 years and still haven't gone on a tour. Yesterday, we had a free afternoon and the weather was right. Grammy, Cody, Lauren, Abby, and I went to check it out. It was free and well worth our time. We got to see the training facilities for the various sports that train here. We also got to see a bit of a junior gymnastic tournament and some of the Olympic wrestlers warming up for their practice. Now we are really excited about the Winter Olympics. Only 106 days until the opening ceremonies in Vancouver!!

I got a picture of Abby this time holding an Olympic Torch.
You never know, one of them could be in the Olympics some day.

A view of Pikes Peak from the training facilities.
How do they suspend that Olympic statue of the female athlete jumping (far right) in the air like that? I'm really pondering that....
ReplyDeleteMy kids asked the same question. She is connected to the rest of the statue. Pretty cool, huh!
