Olympic Victory

Mamaroneck, NY To me there is nothing purer in sports than the Olympics that bring the world together for two weeks every two years alternating between the best in winter and summer sports. It is my hope that "clean" athletes receive all the honors and when cheating is discovered, those imposters are stripped of their medals which the IOC unlike many major sports organizations seems to be doing an effective job. Last, I hope that Olympic Victory can turn into "Ipernity Victory." Then the smile of this photo will be contagious.
