U.S. Olympian and Daphne’s California Greek Brand Ambassador Genai Kerr checks in with Romanian Olympic water polo team at the 2012 London Games.
The Olympics have always been a special event in my life. As a child, I would dream about what it would be like to be the best in the world -- imagining winning countless gold medals and standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the podium with the world’s top athletes.
Yet, it was not until college that I developed a very specific plan of action that would allow me to achieve my goals of becoming an Olympian. I was then set on a course that would include years and years of preparation and training with some of the most talented and dedicated athletes and coaches from around the country and the world.
To this day, I am still overwhelmed by the fact that I was part of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team in Athens. The sense of pride is almost impossible to explain. But you can see it, feel it, almost taste it at the 2012 London Games. Surrounded by thousands of athletes, I again feel the intensity of excitement and pride of representing your country on the world stage.
It’s been an honor to watch and be among this year’s incredible lineup of athletes.
More to come from London…
