Going for the Gold, The Olympic Training Center

The Olympic Training Center was nestled quietly in the middle of Colorado Springs.  From the road, it's hard to believe what all lurks behind the gates.  After watching a brief video about the Olympics and Parolympics, we were lead through the visitors center and out into the training facility.

We were able to see the gymnasium where the men's gymnastics team is training, the shooting range, the weight lifting and wrestling facilities, the swimming pool (Yes, Michael Phelps swam there), and the facility where they live and eat.  The group was amazed by the facility and what all happened in this one place. 

Enjoy the pictures below as you follow us on our tour!
