Following the 2016 Rio Olympics, President Obama invited
several Olympians and paralympians to the White House. There was a reception held in honor of their
success at the Olympic games. The US brought home the most medals than any
other country and it was a huge honor.
Our country is surrounded by sports and we have some of the greatest
players in the country playing on our teams. That is why President Obama
inviting them in was a great display of appreciation for all the hard work that
they had put forth. They train day in and day out all for every four years to
compete. It is so short and so intense but when we come home with the medals it
all becomes worth it. I think that both the Olympians and paralympians being
invited to the white house helped them know that we appreciate them.
