One year from today the world will gather in Pyeongchang, South Korea for the games of the XXIII Winter Olympiad. The games will be held from February 9-25, 2018. Looking forward to another great Olympics!
Also today, NBC Olympics studio host Bob Costas has stepped down as primetime Olympics studio host. Mike Tirico will take over Olympic studio duties starting with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Costas had been the NBC Olympics prime time host since 1992.
Bob Costas will be missed. I've been very critical of NBC's Olympic editing coverage in the past but NBC's strength is in its studio hosts, play by play announcing and analysts. I'm sure Mike Tirico will do a fine job!

15 years since Salt Lake City games
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the start of the 2002 winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah! In an earlier blog post I described my experience as a volunteer at these games. By the time the games started I had already left Utah. The opening ceremonies were held on February 8, 2002 and the games ended on February 24, 2002. 15 years just flew by!
