I work for a former Olympic swimmer and he brought in one of his gold medals to celebrate the 2021 Olympics today!

So true. I live in Colorado, which is the state where the most Team USA Winter Olympians in the 2018 Winter Olympics were from. Idk about other games but I'm sure the same can be said for a lot of other Winter Olympics.

Anyways, I live near Aspen, Colorado where a lot of former and current Olympic athletes live. There aren't any top former and current Winter athletes (by this I mean athletes like Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn who won almost only or exclusively gold at there most recent games) that live there, so most of the former ones now work normal jobs.

For example Chris Klug (former Olympic snowboarder who for bronze at the 2002 games) is now a real estate agent.
