Congratulations to Team USA who won several medals in Vancouver!
Most notable was Apollo Ohno. Ohno is now the most-decorated Winter Olympian in U.S. history. Ohno won his 8th medal of his career when he pulled his 5000m relay teammates from 4th position into 3rd place. The media is already speculating as to whether or not he’ll be back in 2014! Hopefully we’ll see him in the Olympics again or maybe he’ll pursue a speaking career as many former speed skaters have done. A couple of audience favorites include, Dan Jansen and Bonnie Blair.

Tiger Woods apologized today for his behavior, after nearly three months of silence. At The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain, PGA Tour staff members and media members gathered to watch Tiger Woods’ apology on closed-circuit television. No golfers were on the practice tee. On the day of the Accenture Match play quarterfinals, golfers arriving for today’s third-round matches expressed compassion.
Tiger Woods gave no indication of when he will resume playing on the PGA Tour. However, he did not rule out it may be this year.

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games mark the 30 year anniversary of one of the great Olympic moments in American History.
With the world watching, team USA hockey player Mike Eruzione, his coach, the late Herb Brooks and his fellow teammates transcended their sport and united a nation with a new feeling of hope.
The Disney film, “Miracle,” is based on this true story, when the United States Ice Hockey team defeated the formidable Soviet Union team in the 1980 Olympic Games.
For a first-hand account of this victory at your 2010 event, consider inspirational speaker Mike Eruzione who delivers his riveting presentation, “Do You Believe in Miracles?”
As the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver get underway, our hearts go out to the family and friends of Georgian luge athlete, Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died during a training session in Whistler on February 12, prior to opening ceremonies.
The 2010 Winter Olympics begin tomorrow and the weather is not cooperating. Today a training session at Whistler was called off due to fog, officials have been trucking snow to Cypress Mountain; the site of freestyle and snowboarding, and the rain has not stopped falling.
For the first time, the Olympics opening ceremony is going to be indoors. This may be a good thing, considering the recent weather conditions. Bob Costas and Matt Lauer will again host the ceremonies.
As the world counts down to the Vancouver Games, many meeting professionals are looking to bring the excitement of the Olympics to their events. Olympic speakers who have excelled in their respective sports, as well as in business can motivate your attendees to achieve success in the workplace.
Following is a sample of the many Olympians who can inspire and entertain your audience while addressing topics such as teamwork, goal-setting and adversity:
