When I attended the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, I was in awe at the Opening Ceremony and lucky enough to witness Canada's first gold medal on home soil. This magical experience has ignited my passion for the Olympics even more. I want to follow Olympic sports and athletes year round not just every four years. This blog is the continuation of my Olympic dream. Follow me on Twitter @olympichearts
