They say June 23 is Olympic Day. Since 1948 it has served to celebrate the anniversary of the International Olympic Committee created on June 23, 1894 and the revival of the Olympic Games.
Before 1992, the Olympics were just something to watch on TV for me. But I was in Spain in 1992 working at the Expo '92 in Seville, and happened to watch the opening ceremony of Barcelona Olympics on TV, and was moved by the lighting of the Olympic Flame and thought. "I am in Spain, I should go to see the Barcelona Olympic!" This was the beginning.
I went to see Barcelona Olympic in 1992, Atlanta in 1996, Nagano in 1998, Sydney in 2000, Salt Lake City in 2002 and Athens in 2004.
I feel I am lucky to have seen these games by myself.
