My sister Martha texted me the other day to see if we have been watching the Olympics.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to watch them “live”, but, after her text, we discovered that we could see certain events on YouTube.
Most pointedly, the young, twenty two year old, skater from México, Donovan Carrillo. I found some of the events he had skated in and was duly impressed.
He has been skating since he was a small boy, usually at the skating rink in a mall not far from his home. He has, however, moved, with his coach to a larger city, and is skating on an Olympic sized rink.
He is also, we have been informed, the first skater from México to perform at the Olympics in thirty years. We are all very proud of this young man, and the difficulties he has experienced, to get to where he is today.
He will not earn a medal this time, but, maybe, in one of the future Olympic Games, he will. Who knows? Only time will tell.
Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
