Leading with the disclaimer. The Games are worldwide. I am 6-1, which by the old adage that you’re as wide as you are tall, I am six, feet, one inches wide. The Olympics are greater than I can blog, certainly without help. I’ll reach out where I can, of course, but I can’t get to everything and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise. So please share your work, print and online, with me at [email protected]
