Kevin and I look forward to having you join us for a rare glimpse into the life of an Olympic Athlete. Imagine training for 4 years for one moment, one chance and further imagine doing it for 2 Olympics. I wonder what that feeling is like, what it means to be an Olympian and represent your country, to have the opportunity to hear your National Anthem standing on the podium. Join us as these and other questions will be answered, including yours.

With gratitude,
Joe
