I forgot how much I loved the Olympics. I mean, watch this amazing video that came out during the opening ceremonies Friday night:
I’d like to take a few minutes and recognize the Jewish athletes in the Vancouver Olympic games.
Laura Spector, 22, Lenox, MA. Biathlon
Sasha Cohen, 25, Trolling
Ben Agosto, 28, Chicago, IL. Ice Dancing Pairs (2006 silver medal winner)
Steve Mesler, Buffalo, NY. Bobsled (3rd Olympics)
Mykhaylo Renzyhn, Israel. Alpine Skier
Larry Zeidel, 81, Canada, Ice Hockey – Defenseman
Alexandra and Roman Zaretsky, Israel. Ice Dancing.
Evgeni Malkin, 23, Known as “Barely a Jew”
This list should be longer, but if you read (this post), you will know that Jews travel south for the winter. Look for a larger representation in the summer of 2012.
