I love watching the Olympics with my family. We all love Figure Skating and we call and text about every single win of the US. It was fantastic to talk to my peers about it as well this house dinner! While we all ate, we discussed the cheating scandals of Russia. It was incredible to see the depths they took to manipulate the urine sample and the mysterious death of someone who was investigating the whole thing!

I had no idea that was why the winners from Russia had to hold the Olympian flag, as they were forbidden to represent Russia. They also were not allowed to wear bright colors instead of dull colors as a form of punishment. As a group, we agreed that it was a fair punishment. I do not think individual athletes who worked all their life to commit should suffer because of what their government and other athletes chose to do.

I hope to see more of the games!
