     “So the winter Olympics for me is going to curling,” Alvin Murray said. “It’s a new sport for me. I’ve always seen it but fortunately or unfortunately, I got to see it on TV while I was on a plane and I couldn’t come off of that channel. The United States was playing up against I think Korea, and it was super exciting. I am looking forward to watching more of that.”

     “I love the skating,” Natalie Ravelo said. “It brings back memories from when I was a child, because that was the only channel that we were able to watch. Skiing [as well], it’s so daring and brave, I would never.” 

Jerry Menendez  Senior Vice President, Retail Market Manager TD Bank  Country Club 

     “Ultimately I like summer Olympics a whole lot better than winter Olympics, but I will say the opening ceremony with Mariah Carey was amazing,” Jerry Menendez said. “I’m a huge fan. I like the skiing and the figure skating. The U.S. represents us extremely well there and I like keeping an eye on those sports.”

     “I love the ice dancing, I think because you can see the story they’re trying to portray, whether it’s romantic or something else, it just gives you a moment of magic,” Jackie Diaz said.

     “I love the winter Olympics, even if I have never skied before,” Rebeca Scorza said in Spanish.  “I like the ice dancing a lot. All the moves they do are amazing, it’s beautiful. The perfection that they do it with, they look like one person moving.”
