Where is everybody this summer?
As the shift starts to change from the Winter to the Summer for the Olympics we will naturally start to see more and more about things closer to what we will see at Rio 2016.
In the meantime, where are all of the AGM athletes today. Winter or Summer.
Honestly, they are everywhere but for this blog, I just wanted to focus on a few of them because some are in competition right now and others are teaching kids who have a similar passion to learn more about the sports that want to achieve in.
