The Olympic Dream…
Mine? It was hard to imagine without a sense of place.
Once I came to La Seu d’Urgell for the first time in 1991, the spirit of the people and culture of the country anchored a clear vision for what was possible.
For many years, I’ve called La Seu home… which today makes the 60 second walk to the Parc del Segre as frequent as it is simple - where I get to watch a new generation of athletes bring their own Olympic dreams into focus…
Which for the next three years is now anchored to Oklahoma City, an unexpected but beautiful choice for the Canoe Slalom and Kayak Cross events at the 2028 Olympic Games.🇺🇸
The line between my current home and past home stands to deliver some rich connection in both directions over the next few years… and hopefully shorten that line in the process.
I may not completely understand dropping off the ramp in La Seu the way Olympians like Manu Ochoa and David Llorente do…
But that splash upon landing? From this past week forward, there is a clear vision of the excitement and legacy that these athletes and Oklahomans are going to create together.
Enhorabona OKC! 🙌🏼
