“My family was living there at the time, before we moved to the U.S.A. for my father’s job. They were fantastic! It was like being at the center of the universe for two week. Our athletes did really well. Of course, we all really wanted them to win! I know they were really expensive, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was too young to be one of the volunteers back then – I was only 12 – but I loved seeing them in their amazing clothes. I really wanted to be a volunteer, too!”
