Here in Auckland, just dropped Lusi Atiga off at the ferry to Waiheke Island. As we drove off spotted The Cloud, one of the centers for the Rugby World Cup. Glanced quickly and imagined the excitement that surrounded this place during the competition, especially during the finals. New Zealand was in its glory and those who attended and participated, no doubt were experiencing the same type of thrill of the Olympic Games. I imagined also, while in Raglan, NZ, one of the world's greatest surfing areas, (where we brought in this new year of 2012) what fun it would be to see surfing as well as Rugby as an Olympic sport.
Carole Wimberg Cadora's Olympic Journal of Beijing Olympics 2008, Athens 2004, Salt Lake City 2002, Sydney 2000, Atlanta 1996, Barcelona 1992, Los Angeles 1984, Montreal 1976, Munich 1972 and Mexico 1968 and...the olympic spirit. Weaving present and past, the blog gives different perspectives, working in broadcasting within the International Broadcasting Center yet includes the great fun of experiencing the games as an outsider with no credentials.
