<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1500848, member: 11521&quot;]I have. The US Olympic Training Center (one of three, I believe) is located 4 or 5 miles from my house. One year after the Olympics (2002 or 2006 I think) a &quot;Welcome Back&quot; was held for the athletes that trained here and competed in the Games. I cannot remember the female athlete&#039;s name but she won a gold medal in her event and I got to hold it for a moment. That was a thrill. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t knock Olympic badminton. I attended badminton three days at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta (including the Gold Medal Round) and it was fantastic. It was not your garden-variety, backyard badminton by any means. I never knew badminton could be played at such a high level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
