I woke up today really tense, and I wanted to explain my feelings here. Today's the last day for JR's short track speed skating events at Sochi 2014. It's hard to believe how quickly it has flown by. It seems like I've been anticipating these Olympics for so long that it's nearly impossible for me to wrap my mind around the fact that they're already coming to an end. 

For me personally, it has been a little discouraging to see how the events so far have played out this year. But there has not been one second during these Olympics, and throughout the past four years, when I have lost faith in JR. After seeing him compete in the 2010 Olympics, I did my research on him and learned what a great and inspiration person he was and is. Even when he decided to take a break from speed skating to pursue and create The Otherside documentary, he continued to inspire me. 

I believe in him so much and know that he has prepared his best and worked his hardest leading up to Sochi 2014. I fully expect to see his hard work paying off and I hope the odds are in his favor today, but regardless of the outcome, JR will always be one of the most inspirational people to touch my life.

The last two events that JR is competing in, 500 m and 5000 m relay, are both happening TODAY!
