Telling The Story

I may have said this a time or two in the past month: The Olympics are an extraordinary assignment. I have had the privilege of covering the event three times, most recently this August in Rio de Janeiro. I find the assignment tests me in a variety of ways, both professionally and personally, and provides both unique challenges and wonderful memories. I have not been alone.
